Illinois does not have a high income tax. It’s 4.5% compared to California’s 13.3% for highest earners.

I wouldn’t have been shocked. I am shocked it’s getting involved in bigger free agents.

f*&@#ing padres

dude is this cause it's true or just you speculating.

Harper can't hold palka's jock strap

Honestly it's just the research to keep on top of to keep the team well rounded as injuries strike. With h2h I'm typically bad but am playing around with players I just think are going to be good with points. If you start a league I'll join. I miss fantasy.

In november which seemed like 500 years ago when the harper UC image leaked, Harper threads got all the action and nobody bothered with machado. At the time it was near unanimous that harper was preferred too.

Maybe we underestimated how much harper wants to watch the golden state warriors.

I just really want harper to phillies because I have more confidence in being in a bidding war vs. padres.

Ha, yeah that's weird, another link from Fathom on the interview said he guessed giants. I haven't listened to the radio interview.

I know we all want resolution but when I say I want resolution I really only mean the resolution that ends with one of those dudes on the white sox otherwise i'd rather live in this world where it's possible.

Judging by this offseason, we'll get a "machado and white sox nearing a new deal" an then 4 months pass

Shooter has been apprehended.

that would be incredible.

No. I did a exercise looking at a "big board" of all our talent or close talent and I think you go through the year and target big bats for the corners like castellanos and make a run at rendon and others.

That was retweeted by the chicago tribune twitter.

I'm sick to my stomach reading this, very early and unclear what is happening.

100%

Passan's article was good.

At least we are past the point of personally reconstructing hundred of contract variables. Trade talk >>>>>>>> Free Agent talk

I thought almost all the players made a huge mistake waiting for better deals. But stupid San Diego may have just validated this approach so that in future offseasons the same thing happens.

yesterday my wife asked what i was doing after staring noticeably for at least 5 minutes the manny machado instagram post with him and his wife because i was trying to figure out what the black and white logo was on his shirt. No good recoveries there.

it may surprise this board to know this, but not everyone is focused intently on what's going on with manny and bryce.

Again, he's not losing anything by waiting. So remove your hyperbole and it makes sense he continues to wait. At some point finding lodging in chicago and "settling in" may start to become an issue (hopefully very soon) but we are still just 2 days into P&C reporting.
