He did look sensational in the WS though

I don’t know about you, but this doesn’t exactly sound like what someone involved with an organization would say right before signing someone: https://mobile.twitter.com/jaysonst/status/1072200489951850496

Wow even that gets me excited

Twins just gonna try to lead the league in homers in that park?

Only way you get him is if you make him a starter or closer. No reason to try and outbid those other big market teams for another set-up man.

But what if they have a deal lined up to get Yonder Alonso?

Don’t be such a pessimist! In all seriousness, any move with Abreu would be made knowing if they’re going to get one of those guys. They’re not going to risk losing them because they wanted to to trade Abreu for non-top 100 prospects.

I don’t disagree, but it would seem a big shift to go whale hunting to putting an even worse roster on the field.

Don’t think they would, as god help this fan base meltdown if they trade Abreu for prospects and then don’t sign any significant free agents.

C. Perez is someone they’ve dangled.

Just throwing this out there as I agree with you. If they trade him and go big, they put Palka at first, Cruz DH and sign Manny. Cruz should be cheaper than Abreu and you get some prospects back. I don’t necessarily like this path though.

Cafardo reporting that Astros have been in touch with the Sox about Abreu (after they missed out on Goldschmidt)

This is like the Chiefs/Rams game...but the exact opposite. Both teams could have had 5-6 picks tonight.

Doesn't seem to have confidence, as he hasn't had much on these throws (aiming the ball?). With that said, this defense has been incredible.

Some speculation Manny won't sign this coming week https://www.sny.tv/yankees/news/why-the-yankees-arent-all-in-on-free-agent-manny-machado/301625350

Trubisky is quite rusty. Defense has been phenomneal.

Seen a few people suggest they’re one of the three mystery teams. I would be surprised though.

Welp, no scoops https://mobile.twitter.com/barstoolWSD/status/1071578997853708288

Mets, Padres, A’s. I like the way you think though about the Rockies, as it could allow them to trade Arenado for catching and prospects (ie: Contreras +)

Well they are also linked to two guys coming off major injuries (Miller and Britton)

Craig Mish hasn’t mentioned anything about the WSox being after him. He’s a great Marlins source. Yesterday he thought Braves were most likely winner. As I said in another thread, I wonder if the Sox would go after Flowers then.

I don’t blame him for Tatis, I blame him for wanting Shields.

So all the beat writers are suggesting the Sox are going to go after the following at the Winter Meetings: - catcher (Grandal) - veteran starter (Gio and Shoemaker) - reliever (Familia) - outfielder and/or 3rd base (Brantley and Tim Beckham) Predictions? (mine)

but what is Eloy's Q rating?

And he wants Posey money also
