He has 2 years. which is also like the perfect bridge.

This is perfectly stated.

Exactly. This is the “hey guys, we’re not some crazy high bid, don’t start a crazy bidding war” message.

Yeah I mean obviously it would be after the Machado meetings which...I don’t even know are this week. Strap yourselves in, and whatever you do, do not strap it on.

It wasn’t always the case but this has definitely been the role like clockwork the last three years.

That we are in the Nightengale cold bucket phase makes me kinda optimistic we sign one today.

There is such a glut of available 2b no need to press it if the decision is made to move Yoan.

For me it's simply I'm a much bigger believer in Harpers bat and I'd rather buy a bat long-term than defense.

Morosi already walked it back.

Perks of going to free agency at 26 and not 32.

I mean, they did sign one of the more popular players in McCutchen

Is there a reason why I shouldn't like Alex Wood?

Yes, however I figured bigger consideration was still being able to sign their in-home talent up for extensions and officially just bite bullet while contending and not later.

Ah I took it as happening during the meetings. NVM.

Not really, and who cares...that budget is preventing sox from doing anything they want this year.

Man this board is all in on Harper, that tweet didn't even get a blip?

It's so crazy given where the Pirates started.

I would be pro Grandal because it has really bothered me that a rebuild full of young pitchers has given them garbage defensive catchers and framers. I don't care if we pay an FA price for it.

Their drafting has gotten wayyy better last few years. Addel looks like a star (sadly we were so close there).

I think the package would need to be including Porcello.

I want the bad ones. Kevin Newman...ooh baby welcome to the white sox, you are our new SS, Tim you are catcher.

Why is albies there...

This is why I don't understand why you are against signing a Grandal which makes it much more likely he can develop.

I want all the players from the worst Q trades this offseason. Come on down Puig.
