This is where I'm at too.

Didn't stop them from daily beating the dead horse. Might be a conscious effort to smoke a decision out of them, pulling them out the cycle.

Watched Hot Stove this morning. Feel like they went out of their way to NOT mention Manny or Harper.

Best Twitter response to it....

Someone loved Minoso.

Well they'll whine a little more ?

Apologies if this was already posted. I thought it was hilarious.

Holy shit we need some new info, we're discussing back to the future characters?

Dr. Emmett Brown

He was an odd guest, ridiculously quiet and reserved. He said $10 mil difference is "nothing, taxes!" and he'd rather play with family.

Soxfest if we don't sign either...

I was happy when Heyman shot it down. It initially broke my heart, I want Marwin in a Sox uni next season.

I'd be shocked if Marwin got more than 10-12 mil/yr

We gave the guy 6 years and he had one above average season. It was time to pull the cord, both on our end and his.

I floated this a few pages back and you know, right after posting it I kinda regretted it. If we ate all or most of that deal, it'd hamstring us to do anything for a couple seasons. Even on the trade market, you add his 30+ mil to Machado/Harper's 30+ mil, gonna get tough to have wiggle room to augment for a bit.

Stadium took their tweet down about the offer and referencing Passan.

It was, but still as funny now as it was then

I think more likely they're being lazy.

Buddy of mine just pointed out, Passan never reported $250 million, Gomez did. Passan just said 8 years.

He's their national sportswriter now.

Rosenthal on Hot Stove trying to put water on reports but also acknowledging they exist. Won't confirm anything.

Yeah no long term stuff. But adding Gio, maybe even finding a way to add Greinke, that'd put them in a lot of games. If the 4-5 starters are Nova-Lopez, that'd put us in a decent spot.

Absolutely. Would need 2 good starting pitchers if they wanna piss with the big boys.
