I think that number will end up being wayyyy off.

I’d like Chicago a lot too if I could skip nov-March.

This is nuts. I’d take that deal easily. You are in trouble when you need talent back for a player that is already expensive. You could take that trade, send out Heyward for nothing but some cost because Sox don’t care about appearances of salary dumps, Spin out Happ for prospects, and then have acquired Contreras for essentially money plus prospects/better fits for Happ. Cubs need to trade out that talent because they need that full cash back. Sox don’t. They can unwind it and swallow the bad Heyward contract/trade. There are many possibilities at any point. Acquiring or signing a player for 4 years $100 million doesn’t mean the only scenario is for the next four years you must start that player and pay them that amount. There are many possibilities at any point, things are not in a time sealed vacuum.

Hey, Dr. Dre nearly spoiled his billion dollar deal with Apple by making a 3 am facebook video with tyrese claiming he's hip hops first billionaire.

using tweetbot too!

I think Hahn said the right stuff today. But that's typical. Hopefully he acts on it.

Legitimately funny.

pssh, Jerry isn't gonna budge on that.

Interesting. Soxtalk loves moving outfielders to 1b.

Such a good deal. I love Carrasco. Not consistently great, but always feels like someone who could get especially hot at the right time.

If it wasn't clear, that's a total joke. Just trying to get these hot harper leads.

I did too, pm me and not kyyle.

Cespedes would have been pretty good to have in 2016. Team wouldn’t be in rebuild I bet.

I will not guarantee harper will not sign. But I don't know that any owner can ignore luxury tax anymore. Signing harper when there will be a need to sign bryant/baez/hendricks soon would mean it's very difficult to get under at any point soon.

I think the most overblown tendency on soxtalk is to prematurely move every player that doesn't get a glowing defensive report to first base.

I don't believe there was any justification of the tariffs as a revenue raising technique, it was about shoring up manufacturing and decrease trade deficit. Deficit has increased, manufacturing appeared to be doing fine on its own. It may shore up specific, very specific groups, and cost many more others. There are some protections vs China worth having but to me its clear TPP was a better strategy to just ensure non china markets were as westernized as possible.

I think cubs are going to sell a short term deal and see how far it gets them.

Let's be careful and acknowledge how "light" this scoop is.

man that's sad. Hoping for best here.

Ultimately Boston has won a world series so they are better at this, but because they are in win now mode I like Eovaldi less. On other hand, perhaps they can ease him into season to make sure he's ready to go again in playoffs.

Can't wait for this to make the score top of the hour.

No, and he won't have a source.

Just FYI when you paste in the link a pop up will appear to make the link text only, if you click that the embed will work. I find it weird how, to this point rumored, dogmatic yanks have been over years in the contract.
