Probably who the Indians asked for and the Angels balked.

Nova can take the ball every 5 days and put up a near 5 ERA (4.72 last year). He doesn’t strike out anyone anymore so he’s pretty weak option for the rotation.

It’s an MLB executive’s burner Twitter account!

I could see Wood getting $8 to $10 million for one year but that would be a nice signing.

I’d be very happy with adding Bumgarner and a guy like Wood. I could see the Sox winning the division with these two guys along with the returns of Kopech and Rodon.

I’m good with this as well. I mentioned Bumgarner since Ryu and Keuchel both use Boras and the Sox never sign Boras clients.

Which FA starter do you want?

So you missed out on Wheeler. Then sign Bumgarner.

Since when do teams get credit for offering a contract to a player but failing to sign them?

Don’t hold your breath.

It’s all speculation. None of us know what happened. But I wouldn’t be surprised if Wheeler’s agent came back to the Sox with the amount it would take to sign Wheeler and the Sox declined.

True.

It depends on how much they would have had to overpay, and we don’t know what that amount would have been. If it was $10 to $15 million more instead of $7? Do it. The Sox have wasted many more millions on far worse players. Look no further than last offseason. About $42 million wasted.

You would think these fake insiders could come up with more realistic Twitter handles.

I don’t know how much more it would have cost to convince Wheeler to sign here but we both know there was an amount that would have swayed him. And once we see what Bumgarner, Ryu, and Keuchel sign for, I have a feeling the Sox will be kicking themselves for not overpaying Wheeler.

Why? He took what he saw as the best deal for him and his family. If the Sox would have sweetened their offer a bit more, I’m sure he would’ve been in our rotation next season.

I wouldn’t be shocked if you could get his production from Mendick.

According to his agent, who has every reason to lie about it. I don’t buy that story.

It sounds like Cespedes broke his ankle doing something that broke his contract. Dirt biking perhaps? I’m guessing he agreed to take less money because the Mets could’ve tried to void his remaining contract.

Besides the fact that it doesn’t make any sense to burn a year of control with our current team without going for it.

Indeed. The lineup should be good.

Reinsdorf, Hahn, and Kenny suck IMO but this is ridiculous racist trash. Chicago likes good players, regardless of race or creed.

We are all a little frustrated. But I know you are expecting a Keuchel signing. So I assume you will be as pissed off as the rest of us if that signing doesn’t happen.

Go read Hahn’s quotes. They are far more hilarious.

On the taste of a third tier starter like Keuchel of Ryu. If one of them isn’t signed, I assume you will call out the Sox front office like the rest of us...
