It makes sense, it's just a sign that we are going to be chatting with each other about opt outs for a lot longer than a few more days.

I'm jealous for those of you that have not been in 5 hour meetings before.

Sure but this also means this is nowhere near the finish line. This is going to be a complicated contract.

Whoa, big nugget here: "Yet, Reinsdorf was not at the meeting, and still has not granted permission for Williams and Hahn to negotiate a contract."

Update: Here is another interesting article from Heyman https://fancredsports.com/articles/inside-baseball-making-sense-of-the-harper-macha

Y'all, it's new thread time.

Yeah I'm sure that's what swayed Andrew Friedman.

Actually I take that back, that’s only from an AAV standpoint, I’m thinking

If I bet money, I would be the under for this contract. It’s going to be biggest ever but less that we think.

He has two years. Once more everyone, he has two years.

I think this is right.

I’m not really. I think the fastest way to wins this year is a better bullpen. If their internal options prove to be good, all of these players can be traded. Again, you might not get incredible prospects back with their contracts, but if it’s the money and spot you want you can get rid of it. Quickest way to more competitiveness in 2019 without sacrificing much flexibility was bullpen imo.

Rainey looks pretty decent.

Made a thread for the weird dodger trade proposal for those that want to discuss separate from #citytalk

Lotta discussion on this so making a thread.

great info.

Ok but then doesn't that also mean that Wood is like being given away? Am I wrong for liking Alex wood at that point? Is he bad? I feel like he's kinda okay. I obviously see few dodgers games.

Yeah there has to be some part I'm missing...like, they are taking kemp too? but that's the worst deal i've ever seen for lad.

I kinda feel like I want Alex Wood in a deal where the reds get to dump homer bailey no?

This sounds more like an airport story and less an LA story. That guy could have lived anywhere.

Every city is nice when you visit or has nice things. I have had a blast in cle/mil/det, love minny. One thing for chicago people I think is east coast cities are a lot more relatable than west coast cities, which feel more like suburbs. But they still have amazing places and neighborhoods and experiences. USA USA USA

Yes, I'm in my element as a missouri fan, trying to get like the high 4 star QB knowing lsu will offer them a spot to be their 4th qb going "but we have more parking!"

Good luck with that. Soxtalk believe the dodgers care about the luxury tax way more than has been evident that the dodgers care about the luxury tax. They will not send out good value just to offload cash.

How much less should Nova make? Alex colome in arbitration should make a little over 7 million. charlie morton is older and saw late in career success. I also think he's a really good pitcher, but that is risk that pushes price down, and not risk white sox particularly need to shop around in.
