Posting because there was that one terrible trade proposal. I doubt this is for the white sox.

Interesting trade. I like it for Brewers though Davies obviously had a good year and was a starter.

All valid. I just think it's worth exploring supplementing the offense with additional contact and seeing if sequencing improves. I'd prefer quite a few but if Reddick could come with additional benefit to sox I'd look into it.

I'm probably alone in thinking engel is actually worthwhile in this role. I do think as a platoon he'd be more than adequate and the defense is worthwhile. I think sox should see what Kendrick is looking for this offseason. Gets us a great veteran, great bat, can get us to Madrigal, and he has played a small amount of outfield, otherwise can be shifted around our dh/1b/2b positions.

Just fwiw I'm dealing with same thing, just tried clearing cache and didn't work. Seems like dns hasn't made its way through yet. Very annoying. Edit: It works on my mobile chrome but not safari. So weird.

I'd clear your mobile cache. It's kind of a pain but mobile browsers often heavily rely on cache and it can be annoying for stuff like this.

Baseball players are going to play baseball. You can't store these guys in pillows off the field. He seems to have learned a lot in this league previously.

Who needs to steal when you can bunt?

I would just ask: - The value of haniger is increased because of his low $ cost - What are the white sox going to do with that extra value in the rest of the roster. I'd be more ok giving assets for him if we got Cole/Stras. He's good not great.

I think getting pederson assures more appearances for Engel against LHP tbh.

If we get wheeler and push into a good bullpen, I would be okay with Reddick (again, apologies to @caulfield12) This would be to push into a big signing of Springer/Betts next year. I am attracted to adding his 10% walk rate/12%k rate to our lineup, though for some reason I expect that k rate to go up.......... It's not plan A, obviously.

That's true, but there may be a decent chunk of change difference. I'd be so thrilled with Stras. I think a lot of nats players have been underrated as harper sucked the attention. Stras has had some injuries but he's been so freaking consistently good when he's played.

just a show of hands, does anyone find the bolding and italics formatting helpful in reading caulfields ENTIRE POSTING OF ARTICLES

Eh the twins stuff is actually just a bunch of aggregation based on a heyman tweet https://www.sny.tv/yankees/news/latest-on-yankees-free-agent-target-zack-wheeler-very-high-on-the-twins-list/311931954

Right, nothing of substance.

There is some twins heat on twitter but who knows/who cares. Just a bunch of blog articles on him being a target (he is almost certainly a twins target).

sorry, there was some cleanup. Carry on.

this is a placeholder.

Initially I was surprised, but going through our 40 man I guess he probably was the cut-off guy. I mean I probably would have chosen foster but I'm assuming he has shown something recently.

Did Grandal not qualify as marquee?

downgraded from tonynugget to tonynibble.

love me tonynuggets

For the record, I'm the official arbiter of whether a media personality is good or not.

Are we really mad at garfein for bringing martino on his podcast for info on wheeler when sox fans are interested in Wheeler?

I had so many good posts I just had to mutter to myself. Forgot them all.
