I do think the sox should be going after Wood, though.

The white sox operate on a more meaningful 88 year cycle.

Doesn't it seem more 2000-2009 yankees that they need a replacement for SS for half a year and all of the writers are like "oh, well, you need a shortstop for half the year, here is the best shortstop on the market that costs near $300 million over 10 years, perfect fit!". Not saying they aren't interested, they are. But I think the motivation is lukewarm. He improves their club but becomes a wrecking ball to their financial obligations.

I would be shocked if Harper signed for less than Machado, shocked.

So of all the teams so far, despite Phillies public overtures that they are in on both, only the sox rolled out red carpet for both, with public owner support. That does feel right to me that sox are serious and I do think I would be crushed to hear sox weren't actual bidders (in the sense that they thought they could get in on lower end of what was speculated).

Since people are complaining about other people not hating a player enough... Really, no other Manny votes? That 2010 team was so much fun and that guy felt like he singlehandedly ruined it.

https://theathletic.com/719317/2018/12/18/who-will-age-better-bryce-harper-or-manny-machado/ The board has said Manny was better to age due to defense, I always meant to sit down a counter and am glad I didn’t because while my overall argument would have been right my talking points would have been wrong. Here is Eno Sarris on how they may have advantages as they age. https://theathletic.com/719317/2018/12/18/who-will-age-better-bryce-harper-or-manny-machado/

Okay, any loop workers be on the lookout this morning. Any black Escalade feel free to peak inside. If you spot them grab a taxi and ask them to follow them. When you get to airport do a TMZ style interview. Let’s do this sox talk.

Thanks, that’s wild.

Seems hard to believe they couldn’t verify if a visit happened. Would Boras really keep that secret?

Thanks, was hoping we’d get some pics around time from some Ricky taking him to a Berlin drag show or something tight.

Even when thinking about wild card trouble with cowboys and seahawks resurgence, excluding this weeks stinkers, it’s like “oh we are going to face a team that’s offense relies on running the ball, good luck with that”

Posts like these that are on its face bad news for Bears actually make my heart warm.

Alright what did the old ass parent crowd miss. Anything good?

We always say this about the dodgers but then they just end up keeping everyone and cycling them all around the DL all year.

There is nobody of that name who works at the inquirer.

Lol old account deleted for personal reasons

Who is that

Well chili, I sincerely hope you are telling the truth and this is someone worth paying attention to because otherwise this is very mean.

I can't be the only one with a bad beat after that weird-ass fantasy week. I won the league in regular season points by 250, it was a juggernaut, and 15 less points than my worst showing of the year and lost! I'm not sure I'll ever put together a team as consistently good as this years again. Quite the gut punch.

Did not expect to see this one!

Definite recency bias for me but Manny Ramirez Brett Myers Adam Laroche Jeff Samardzija Royce Clayton

Now that's a photo.

Alright I want him there until dinner. Steak restaurant, not one of the good ones, they'll take him to one of the touristy ones, ones with private rooms. Manny will order the 180 day aged bone in ribeye and JR's eye will twitch. "No, no, Manny this is too far. Sorry we are out"
