  1. The only thing that has stopped the deal finishing is they haven’t agreed on the talent packages
  2. Gonna have to work with Rodriguez on what “close” means
  3. Could you make a contingency on the deal if he gets tested positive for roids, since he’d be out like both years of deal
  4. If they trade Burger and he wins ROY on a different team do I still get all your money @Quin ?
  5. Frankie MONTas Colson MONTgomery there is something there
  6. Fun fact but if we traded Colson we wouldn’t have a first round pick in our minors for at least 2 months
  7. That sounds like a challenge and yes we will have 300 posts on this by morning
  8. If we could only pair oaklands PD with our scouting…oh wait we’d have the Oakland As
  9. Man I don’t know … one full year as a starter feels like it ought to bring the price diff
  10. Burger, Rodon, Madrigal, Tatis

    Less baseball games would mean longer, more important baseball games. Can't imagine if we had 120 baseball games as long as the playoffs. Give me 162 2.5 hour baseball games and I'd be in hog, HOG heaven.
  12. I have a feeling the baseball biz strategy of pay dirt to sales and marketing people because you are offering a foot in the door to working for a baseball org may be running into "competitive labor market" for the first time in 30 years.
  13. I don't think baseball owners count as small business. Not even sure I could scrape the capital together for a Dunkin Donuts franchise. Just so @Chisoxfn feels safe, I will rule out creating a rival sox fan forum with my admin skills.
  14. Background: I found a great-value deal to sit in floor seats but not courtside seats for a bulls game in January. It had much of the same perks, much cheaper, but I dealt with some sight line stuff. But I had a blast. With the food menu stuff out, I'm wondering if people could help me answer the following questions: - Are they fun enough on their own to target day game/weak opponent matchups? Are they even fun or are 200 level seats just as good - Is the food good? - Who is the best company to bring with you for scout seats? - Will it make me not want to sit anywhere but scout seats in the future? Follow up; If this happens, what is the best small business to start to make me the next M&M man, and how long does it take to typically get to M&M man level and I can afford season tix scout seats? Thanks sox fan forum for your insight.

    It's not too cold to play, it's too cold to enjoy.

    Maybe, that would be nice. But even forcing hospitable stadiums to host more april games and balance it out with revenue sharing so it's not northern teams getting out ahead seems like the thing that could be done if you were capable of doing things to improve the sport and not just hovering around the size of bases because they can't argue back.
  18. He is my tatis Not really. I just wish a rule 5 happened this year (not that Kwan would have been on it, as apparently the guardians are aware of their own system talent)
  19. My goodness heart and kidney transplant. edit: Stay Well Harold!
  20. Yeah. I mean from the zoomed out view, the sox had years of very old drafts and penalty-reduced INTL leading up to 2020. Shirley takes over, we presume he sees the cliff and does budget to get more young talent in, but covid means our 2020 draft is 5(?) rounds. So kanny was just this perfect storm of guys who barely played stateside, HS who missed the Great Falls step, ets. But it was still disappointing on the Kelly/Dalquist/Thompson side to me just because they had more team emphasis and Schaumburg time and were just so unprepared. Instead of making them hungrier it seemed to make them complacent. Excited to see how they respond.
