Actually come to think of it, McCann will absolutely be on the opening day lineup.

I actually think they'll go prep personally (I hope they do).

About 25 posts in and I'm surprised I haven't seen a "the money is being spent!" joke yet.

Thanks Matt Skole.

So if this does happen, only Giolito would be the lone major FA after 2023 (unless you like Lopez too).

And a few posters here will be served delicious crow if he is indeed right (he was the first to break the news).

Haha can't even catch a break on a homer in spring training.

Yea I quickly edited my post after I double checked. Thanks.

I think he would absolutely opt out if that is true in 2027. Still a huge win however (if true).

Yermin just hits. Always has.

Yea not a good deadline at all for Bowman. I advocated selling high on Gustafsson last season when he had an outlier year (was never a fan). And that return for Lehner is underwhelming considering the goalie he is, although I can understand it somewhat because the goalie market isn't great. We'll see what this Demin kid does but if he gets Mitchell signed, then that's a win. He and Mitchell are college teammates FYI. Hawks just need to pick a lane. They are becoming too much like the Red Wings holding onto the core guys as they age and thinking they can still compete. McDonough, Bowman, etc need to just rebuild this thing, not retool. You have Dach, Boqvist, DeBrincat, Mitchell (hopefully coming), etc. You are going to have another top 10 pick this year... stop adding bandaids and trading picks. Add to that.

Nice play by Mendick there.

He is going to be a pain in the ass for pitchers to get out. And we will all love it.

Vaughn HBP. Stop hitting our precious!

Nicky's shoulder looks healthy again.

Law not a fan of Madrigal confirmed.

Switch Robert and Mazara and I think that's exactly what he'll do.

He's been my favorite relief prospect seems like forever now (liked him even when Hamilton, Burdi, etc. were lighting up the minors). I'm expecting him to make noise on a callup this year.

And 2 K's. He always had the stuff but he still has no idea where any of it is going.

I would be surprised if Encarnacion isn't behind Abreu. Jose has spoke glowingly on him about protection in the lineup already. I can see Ricky accommodating that and then putting Grandal at 5. Then again, I'm surprised Ricky isn't batting Leury at the top so it's a start...

Because LaVine doesn't like his dumb ass timeouts when the game is over.

Alex Ovechkin 700 goals. 8th player ever to reach that number. Just an incredible player and career.

Nice. Now get Jorge on board.

Who was the guy who called this one?
