honestly, can we please not let another thread get turned into garbage?

Shingo for one year was a total joy to watch

Anyone else like the quote in this article where Yonder says this is a "once-in-a-lifetime opportunity"? https://www.mlb.com/whitesox/news/yonder-alonso-hopes-manny-machado-follows-lead/c-301945380

so we found that chilli works for the Philadelphia inquirer

It goes back again to a college recruiting visit....each visit is amazing and each team thinks they'll get him. I can't wait for the term "silent commit" to be used this week.

I'm still wondering if he has a meeting with someone tomorrow (Mets, Brewers, Cubs, Cardinals?)

Bryce Harper Manny Machado Adley Rutschman Yonder Alonso Josh Beckett

Pretty sure it’s a conference call with Alonso

Sure they could if they want to make others perceive they’re getting a big offer from such team. Don’t think that’s happening here though.
