Money buys things

But we are using a lot more money. There is a separate track in the Sox that will guarantee failure or steep drop off like the cubs and that is if Shirley sucks and Paddy finds nothing in next few years. We can’t overcome those pipelines being dry.

Oh?

It will be whatever is most annoying including doing nothing.

I don’t really care. It won’t matter if their drafting is shit anyway (it might be, looks like it). Money is an asset, players are an asset. Bassitt/Montas are good, that’s all I give a shit about. If we sign Ray we are using prospect capital too.

Out of curiosity why do you want NC over Schwarber?

Also Jack was right, hid the posts, let’s keep it reasonably baseball related

Yeah but if it’s Baez vs Correa/Seager that’s a win.

Ah didn’t realize he was on block and just a year left. Makes sense.

And it would be huge. And sorry Bassitt, Montas, who is 3rd?

The thing that sucks IS that the free agent window is narrower, and there are still a lot of teams competing. But the good news continues to be that what makes us better can be accomplished in different ways.

Yes

“Sources tell me: specifically not white sox”

Devastating. The worst person you know just signed one of the best pitchers on the planet.

Blech. Liked max post DET, but this is trash. Hope it’s a disaster.

Obviously, Gavin lux would not be traded in this scenario.

He’s such a funny case in that he’s a great player that will make us better but with his decline in defense also is great in the exact same way we are already great

Ah well, nevertheless

for those with lives: we have been getting hourly leaks to NY reporters on how darn hard Steve Cohen is trying to land max. Other rumors: that LAD are pessimistic. No one else seems to have Jon Heyman on speed dial.

I hope the Mets take my idea of giving Scherzer monthly opt-outs.

He hits RHP at league average (104 wRC+). Definitely GB heavy though.

I think he’s interesting. He faded hard which may be a 2021 problem, but changed his arsenal. Not crazy about his stuff, but heard he made his FB fit coors. Maybe he can get more rise out of it

Jerry would absolutely throw $40M of his own money to fuck with Steve Cohen on some property deal but make it a baseball player and he’s no where to be found. We need someone on the inside to use this angle and bring JR off the sidelines here.

This is true but also if you told me that Jerry Reinsdorf spent 40 mill on a pitcher I would assume they were more likely 35+

Man, obviously him signing with the Sox would be the most fun, but a close second would be the football being pulled out from Cohen again on this.
