Nice research but I was just going based off of the reports about the Dodgers priorities. For a week everyone thought they were trying to clear space for Harper (including some supposed “insiders”) but it became the narrative that they weren’t interested in him necessarily. I said they should go after Harper and Kluber due to their current window, but I don’t think they will go after both. Weird for you to pick on me though as at least I wasn’t melting down about the Sox chances compared to most on here.

Even if they (Cubs) get Harper, that's not going to change much in terms of the relevancy of the Sox. They're already about as irrelevant as possible in Chicago. The only Sox fans remaining are likely not going to jump ship now, as they would have done that in 2016.

I know there's a lot of skepticism with him, but Incarcerated Bob seems to be implying he might have some news on Harper tonight. He also retweeted the sun-times article about how the WSox fans should be prepared for disappointment. Bob has been pretty accurate with things so far this offseason.

If the Cubs can’t fix his swing, I have no faith the Sox can

Yet he’s a good fit for the Cubs where you have exceptional offense at other positions. Run prevention is something they’ve really excelled at thanks in large part to Heyward

I would legit become a Brewers fan if that happens

That would be a move for the future for the Giants, as they get a nice controllable piece in Happ and two good prospects while unloading Melancon's awful deal. There's been speculation they want premier outfielder defenders.

I don't think Theo cares, as he'll probably be moving on in a few years anyways.

I've seen proposals like the following, and it could make some sense: Heyward, (and 40 million), Happ, Amaya and Azolay for Melancon and Will Smith.

I think still carl and Cat get their info from the same person

Seems like some internal issues going on with Illinois program. Alan Griffin’s mom is going off on Underwood on twitter.

Said it a few weeks ago, but De La Rosa shouldn't see a second of playing time. Ayo was simply horrible tonight as well.

Yes no doubt but also pretty telling that they’re actively trying to create room for him. Not that this is a surprise, but this information is almost word for word what the Cat tweeted on 12/12

Anyone discounting the Cubs is fooling themselves

Happ is most likely to get dealt. Giants have some pitchers making a lot of money they could unload in a deal.

I pretty much agree but not ready to say all these other names aren’t BS by Dodgers to give them more leverage in trading Verdugo for Kluber.

Put it this way, Harper was trending on twitter yesterday for like 6 hours after the Dodgers move. He’s easily the biggest name in baseball IMO.

Yes

I really think they believe they can contend. I bet they sign Dallas K soon

I’ve thought about the righty batter angle with them, but they already have Freese, Turner, Kike, Taylor and Barnes.

yes but Buehler was known to have an elbow issue

Clearly no way to prove this, but I'm willing to bet every team in baseball had Fulmer ranked higher than Buehler. Buehler's health was always an issue, and I have a very, very hard time seeing the Sox picking someone that that high that they know will likely need TJS sooner than later.

I think this whole saga will prove if the Cat actually knows anything

yes, and he also said something about how him and Abreu talked about the entire 40 man roster has to step up to get "things done" (in reference to the Sox having a good season), including anyone that's coming in with us.
