Adam LaRoche retires
QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Mar 17, 2016 -> 10:27 AM) Then, at some point, the team decided that the arrangement wasn't working and tried to change it. The White Sox do have the ability to change their minds occasionally if they feel it is prudent. Yeah...I can't get on this argument. If the Sox told him, before he signed, that it was okay for his son to be there as much as he'd like him, than I think they made there bed. To change, yes, they are entitled to it, but it looks poorly and is essentially a flat out lie.

It is nice to look (at least for the time being) at the standings and seeing the Sox near the top. Relatively speaking, didn't realize Cubs were 1-8. Only Baltimore is worse.

QUOTE (dasox24 @ Mar 11, 2016 -> 11:55 AM) I was ecstatic. I knew it was too good to be true. I started getting multiple texts about it, which was the only reason I though it might be true. Then I did my own search and couldn't find a thing about it. Seemed legit enough to me. A 2nd rounder plus whatever big money we'd give him, wouldn't necessarily be unrealistic. That said, I presume Jets are going to give him the bucks.

2015-2016 NBA Thread
QUOTE (chw42 @ Mar 11, 2016 -> 09:01 AM) Perhaps. Our defense was awful and some of the turnovers were head scratchers. Guys were missing open passes by a good 3 feet. Moore played out of his mind and more or less replaced Jimmy's production on offense. We really need him on the defensive end though. Rose also couldn't keep up with a 33 year old Parker. Here is the problem. Turnovers have been an issue all season. The little things have been an issue all season. With injuries or not, I expect those aspects to fall on the coaches and players to correct them. I just don't have a stream of confidence when it comes to Hoiberg's ability to minimize those issues. That said, if Butler can get back and healthy, I'd love to see this team go on a run. Rose is playing really quality basketball right now and that is a great thing to see.

I predict we'll like up our dlinemen today and presume we are still going to go aggressive at a safety. Lemming indicates he thinks Miller will be back. I wonder what Pace would do if the Niners offered their 1st for Jay. Seems like Kaep is going to one of the Browns or Broncos for a 2nd round pick (wonder if we could make it a three team deal...this is presuming Pace thinks highly of one of the top couple QB's). Also, surprised we are interested in CJ Anderson, but than I look at his numbers and wow, he was a beast, great average per carry, still young. Supposedly he might sign an offer sheet today (I'd have to presume Broncos match).

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Mar 9, 2016 -> 07:29 PM) @bradbiggs #Bears contract for LB Danny Trevathan short of the $28M range. Total value is $24.5M with $12M guarannted and $5M signing bonus. Trevathan has $1.5M base salary this season with $3.5M roster bonus. He has annual workout bonuses worth $100K each season. 2017 base $2M 2018 base $5.8M 2019 base $5.8M plus $500K roster bonus Trevathan base salaries in 2016 and 2017 are fully guaranteed. What are we missing here? Does the rest of the league think he was overrated? That seems like a steal? On a sidenote, why the f*** are we backloading the deal? Why, when we have a bagillion bucks in cap space, wouldn't we front load the deal a bit more (I realize it poses some risk if a player stinks, but still, we have tons of cap space).

QUOTE (ptatc @ Mar 9, 2016 -> 02:02 PM) Guard. IMO. Spot on. I like this move more with Long back to being a mauler at guard. Upgrades at two spots on the line, with one being a significant upgrade (Long replacing the crap we had at guard last year). Go back to Long and Slausson beasting as guards. Adam Jahns @adamjahns 40s40 seconds ago Sources indicate that #Bears have plans to move Kyle Long back to guard. FA would help dictate that, and now OT Bobby Massie to sign.

Wonder how much coin. He was looking for 8M per year. Does this mean Long moves to the LT or is he back at guard?
