Basically saying Ohtani is very stubborn and has no flexibility with the press. He implied Ohtani isn’t interested in the Wrigley circus.

Really hope the Cubs aren’t being secretive and go and get him. Kaplan was highly critical of him the last two days.

It just feels like it won’t be Toronto now

Padres most likely

Yamamoto and Montas is the rumor

Yanks gonna spend big on a starter it sounds like

Speaking of Royals, Merkin also mentioned Maldonado today and of course linked Pedro to him from his KC days

There will always be a market for Cease. Again, why do people not listen to NBB, and frankly, common sense? No reason to trade him with all the top pitchers still available.

Zero

You expect Robert to stay healthy also?

This is what happens when your manager has no presence, so the front office has to bring in “leaders”

Braves would give up their pitching depth in a heartbeat for Cease, but their system sucks now

I know I said there’s a spot for Busch, but I’m more concerned with finding best talent and not trying to win 70 games than 65 next year.

It’s amazing to me that they truly don’t value slugging

I skip over most of the Giolito talk, but someone said the Sox got a poor return for him? Wow

Personally, I’m quite ok betting that 1 of the 2 bust. Quero isn’t someone that’s so good that he makes me think getting depth at catcher isn’t important. Also, it’s not like you don’t need two catchers anyways.

They have an opening at DH if all else fails, and he’s totally blocked in the Dodgers system.

He’d be playing RF

Busch, Rushing and a pitcher makes too much sense

How dare the fan base revolt against his BFF Tony

This will be the ugliest Sox season of our lifetime. Horrible team, pathetic attendance and a livid fan base.

And basically have said he’s not starting in the majors on Opening Day

He’s doing everything possible to alienate the fan base.

Or the simple answer is everyone is waiting for Ohtani decide. People can take or leave his sources, but NBB said they were going to wait.
