My son was watching it. A bit disturbing how the main character is always gooning to touch boobies.

Also, why do all three women in that Instagram have hair styles like they are trying to cosplay anime characters? Some weird ass fetishes there apparently.

This is Jerry we are talking about. I’m sure he wanted to know that once he agreed to pick up Robert’s $20 million dollar option and signed off on Getz picking up additional free agents (Murakami, Newcomb) that there was a plan in place to offset that money by dealing Robert (especially before he gets injured again). I doubt they even want to risk an injury to him in ST and there seems to be enough interest (Reds, Mets, Pirates) to make a deal.

I think it’s likely close to happening due to the two most recent signings. Murakami and Newcomb will add $20.5 million to the 2026 payroll. Robert is due $20 million.

They could all struggle just as easily as excel next season.

Haha, you are correct. What kind of stupid statement is this? ”Bolster that with Murakami at first base, assuming he can lock down a primary role there, and at the heart of the lineup and it’ll be look out above.”

He was wondering why we are signing some unknown Japanese guy instead of David Eckstein.

Jerry is probably impressed.

The Cardinals are also sending $8 million to the Red Sox in the deal.

Yeah, they were way off on that projection.

I’m guessing Cam Booser couldn’t have been substituted for Fajardo in this trade. 🤦🏻‍♂️

No more obvious proof that the Red Sox were probably the other finalist for Murakami’s services. That’s a good sign at least.

Yeah, where was his early post saying that Murakami was signing with the Sox? Bartolo’s Bunghole is a waste of typed words.

Maybe. $40 million is a lot of money to the White Sox, not so much money to the Red Sox.

And there likely won’t be at 2-years and $36 million remaining. He’s their version of Benintendi.

$90 million wasn’t a very good price for him but he is a pretty good hitter. He would probably be starting for many teams.

That’s a bit ridiculous. He is about $40 million after the posting fee. That isn’t much money/risk to a team like the Red Sox.

Does anyone have more details or an article on how he was horrible against fastballs at 93+ MPH?

I hope Getz doesn’t waste money on fluky bullpen arms and save it for the rest of your list.

But he’s right.

White Sox released OF Zach DeLoach.

Perhaps the highest AAV. Passan said that other teams tried to sign him to larger overall contracts with a lower annual salary.

Probably freeing up the money to pay for Murakami. Probably looking for an outfielder as well.

I don’t think Fairbanks will be worth the money get gets. Would rather put that money toward another starter.
