I'm almost at the point where the Sox have a real good shot. The Sox aren't out on either guy and there's no front runner in my mind.

Kielbasa ?

CIH I applaud your efforts . True fan numero uno !

If you want my advice For a little slice of Bryce To entice Bryce For the right price You have to be twice as nice To be precise and concise Don't be cold as ice Or else no dice !

Guessing Fulmer and Giolito are the 2.

What was wrong with the Quintana trade? You don't like Eloy and Cease ?

And you can bet your ass both their agents will be telling them "Take the money kid" because they know a healthy future is not guaranteed.

A fair point ? It's the only point. There's no reason to leave a ton of money on the table. It's not a matter of $150-200M setting them up for life anyway. It's grab as much as you can when you can. A $300+M contract is GUARANTEED while having a healthy enough body to bet on yourself 4 years down the road isn't .

I was wondering when someone would offer up the most logical explanation from the Reds side. There's no way they are looking to compete in 2019. Maybe they aren't quite ready to dump their good player and instead got some guys who they can flip. It differs from the way the Sox did it in that respect since after all our major pieces were gone all we did was sign relievers and hope some AAAA talent might all of a sudden become something which hasn't worked. Only a handful on this board wanted the Sox to try to get some better assets to flip last year. This might not work for the Reds and they really should try to move Votto who isn't getting any younger. Yes it's a strange plan if that's the case so who knows .

Thank you . It's utter nonsense to draw any conclusions at the moment. Has the shine worn off? Of course it has however in the case of baseball players the shine can come back.

That's all I was saying since it was proposed as a way to help the Dodgers get Harper if they want him and have to clear payroll space. No one including the Sox should make it easy on them. I'm sure there can be all kinds of trade scenarios that could include Taylor or guys more valuable to us then guys with looming FA years in a year or 2 like Puig Wood and Pederson. Taking those 3 would be a huge help to them and very little to the Sox.

Was just saying he's a better guy to get then Pederson, Puig or Wood. Do you disagree ? I wasn't the one proposing helping the Dodgers do anything. I just didn't like the names mentioned as a return for helping them.

Other's mentioned Chris Taylor. Plays CF and the other OF positions, Has played 3rd base,SS and 2nd base also, plus had a 4 WAR last year and has 3 years of control left. Much more suitable to the Sox.

Those names should just be thrown out rather then thrown out there. They do nothing to help the rebuild. Would make us better in 2019 that's about it unless you just want to flip them. But Puig is a tough sell on anyone . Pederson and Wood coming to the AL I don't trust.

What's so special about those 3 ? Puig and Wood are FA's in 2020 . Pederson in 2021 . That's 4 total years with the Sox between 3 players. . I'd want way better than that .

Barbarian !

Yea kinda reminded me of the whole Germans bombing Pearl Harbor thing.

but but you never knock the King off the board in chess. You just trap his ass till he has no moves to make. 🤴

Ok nobody better mention mood swings and women and something monthy !

Remember back in the day when Tyler Danish was in our top 10 prospects ?

For me it depends on the movie. JC Superstar and Godspell paled in comparison the Broadway shows. But some of the movie versions are all many of us know like Fiddler on the Roof, West Side Story , Guys and Dolls , Oklahoma and the Sound of Music. I'd put those right up there with the live shows but mainly because there were major stars in many of them in the movies. 1776 I liked both too though it lacked the big stars unless you count Ken Howard from The White Shadow TV show.

I'm really curious about where Fiers ends up and what he gets.

Unnecessary . Can we stop trying to rack up style points based on abusing other posters regardless of if you think it's deserved or not.

There's really no way to know. Logically we hope for just one, But if JR really wants to turn the baseball world upside down and cause mass hysteria you never know.
