Hector wrong. Again. - Cruz back with Min
He’s a 41 year old DH on a team that has multiple candidates to fill it. That’s an incredibly likely white Sox scenario.

I was paranoid brewers would get back McClure in the deal and he’d turn into another trash heap star for them

Trade Whispers - Starting Pitchers
Same. Probably part of it is if he goes bad while on Sox you’d be like “oh yeah maybe don’t trade for guys that throw 4 mph”

Hector is a real offseason character

clearly I thought there was a game tonight. What a bummer!

COVID-19/Coronavirus thread
I am trying to maintain my expectations for May, which seems very plausible. Now among my brothers and their wives, now 3/8 have received at least dose 1.

COVID-19/Coronavirus thread
Man J&J is getting pre-hyped, and I worry that something in the 70% range will get higher scrutiny a la astrozaneca. Next week is going to be so huge.

NFL Thread 2020-2021
I hope it doesn't end up where the university of missouri hired a better DC candidate than the bears. OTOH I would not take the bears job unless it was my last shot. You already saw how it will be the first scapegoat of the entire org.

he's not talking about cash outlays.

That's what he's talking about. Someone was throwing out a 3 for 120 deal for Bauer, and he pointed out that it would actually push sox into luxury tax trouble.

I am excited to watch a bulls game.

You are right, sorry, I was going off memory. They do have some threads they could pull, but you are right, a lump contract like that is a bigger obstacle than I realized. Plus I wonder if the new CBA won't tighten things more.

You are like the character in a horror movie that keeps calling out to evil spirits as a joke and then they show up.

hey to be fair someone posted his tweet and they were asking who it was, had nothing to do with food accounts.

I think it's closer to like $145 but there's so much confusing variation here. Spotrac has sox $8 mill less than I and roster resource have them, but it has their Lux tax at 140, so I don't know whether to pay attention to theirs.

lol maybe but it started because the als cheesy beef account retweeted a bunch of corbin burnes hype videos that were old so I figured something could be up there. Then homeboy @Orlando found the reddit thread.

COVID-19/Coronavirus thread
I'm setting a personal goal that Illinois maintain a 30k vaccine per day pace through phase 1b, which would move through that 3.2 million by mid-may. This will require either getting substantially more out of weekdays (38k today) or not taking off weekends for some reason.

Just write "?" constantly and we'll hang on your every tweet.

would much rather do a 3/$42M deal with Odorizzi than $40 mill/yr with bauer.

it's fun thinking about the way I follow the sox now isn't much different than the people that loved twilight so much they read additional fan-fic and my EL James is the combined foodies. edit: accidentally mixed up twilight/fifty shades of gray authors, embarrassing.

madrigal, heuer, stiever, thompson was what our elevator-loving reddit poster heard was agreed to then milwaukee countered with Crochet.

dude gets limited views in an insane scouting year, sox take that chance, he gets up to minors in SAME YEAR and dominates MAJOR LEAGUE HITTERS IN A DIVISION RACE AND PLAYOFF GAME struck out 37% of hitters faced and a .5 WHIP all while throwing the easiest upper 90s we've seen. I'm sure a couple teams that passed on him re evaluated.
