Do you guys think that Mitch played well enough to buy some more time for his tenure as the Bears' QB? There aren't really any other options, so barring a trade, it would have to be Daniel. However, it seems that given the short leash that Trubisky likely has, I'm hoping that he shows enough to give us some hope that he could still be the guy, going forward.
Nope. Ive known since he was in HS that he wasnt made for primetime. They need to look for a QB stat. Dude just cannot process in the NFL quickly enough

Wow, did the college interest die?

I guess if they don't sign Machado, the reasoning or argument is not going to be the money but the fact that they weren't able to successfully bring him to Chicago during the 2018 season to give him an "audition/tryout" that would have convinced him firsthand of the fit as well as the talent in the pipeline.
It won’t be the money we lose on. And that’s all we can ask.

I think we have equal offers and a more friendly and up and coming team. It’s up to him. I’d choose the Sox. But I’m biased as hell. If the money is the same why not choose the team I’d help lead on their way up.

Regardless of what happens at least we know the Sox gave it a hell of a shot. The only thing they could do to win outright is offer way too much money.
Personally I think We get him. I don’t think the Yankees are sold and I think we’ve done more than philly.

For all the talk about Watson, I think the biggest no show tonight was the Houston defensive line. Luck had free reign over the secondary.
The Bears D line cant let that happen.
Houston’s defense made bad calls all first half. It wasn’t all the line. Fangio won’t make the same mistake. He’s not gonna sit in cover two, in fact nobody ever should.

I’m still confused by this report from Rock. First he said that Schwarber and Heyward “will be dealt”. Then he said they might not be able to move Heyward. So which is it? Do they have a deal in place, or are they just exploring trade options? Doesn’t sound like anything official to me.
I was just posting what I heard at dinner from a beat reporter. Nothing more. Nothing less. She seemed very confident.

Cmon, dude. This is more of the same nonsense coming from a lazy Chicago media that knows jack shit about anything.
It’s possible. She works for them. But it seemed first hand.

Luis Robert a corner OF?
To me. Yes. I could be wrong. GG corner guy

Outside of Madrigal, yeah. The Sox are absolutely loaded with OF. Of their top 10 bats, 7 are OF. The others are Burger and Collins who are 1B/DH types.
Jimenez
Robert
Rutherford
Basabe
Adolfo
Walker
Gonzalez
are all OF.
I am actually perfectly fine using that depth to acquire MLB pieces if they were to sign Harper, but to each their own. I'd keep Eloy and Robert, but after them anyone is fair game, should Harper sign with the Sox.
Eloy and Luis are corners to me. So why block them for five years? I just don’t get the Harper fit unless hes your future 1B

They need to hit on either one of Harper or Machado. Missing out on both, and having one go to the Cubs is a formula for disaster.
I think they are doing all they can for Machado. Including acquiring his closest friend and brother in law.

agreed completely, Machado is a much better fit. Problem is the chances don't seem very good they get him.
I think they’ll give it every shot.
-
Every good bat the Sox have coming up are OFers

And no chance for the Sox to outbid it? Or is the Cubs offer sufficient such that it doesn't matter to him if others offer more.
IMO. The Sox aren’t in desperate need of a corner OF/future DH. They need a position player like Machado

The cubs will unload whatever it takes was what I heard. And Harper is waiting for it
-
I don’t know it as gospel but the source is reliable based on what they do and where they’ve been. I was shocked. Never thought they’d move Schwarber or Almora. It also includes some prospect as well. Quite frankly if I was them I’d just add pitching. Their offense is plenty good. Add as many good arms as you can.

If they dealt Heyward why would they need to have Harper in CF.
If they couldn’t unload.
-
This person also said they are open to trading Almora and playing Harper in center. That would be funny

Move the franchise. We’re done in Chicago.
Personally I’d rather have a position player than a future DH/1B but him going to the cubs will suck. He’s an upgrade from Schwarber

Well today sucked
Came from a beat reporter. Schwarber and heyward will be dealt.

I got some inside info last night that the cubs will he moving pieces in order to sign Harper.

I kinda find the Starbucks app tough to navigate. I use it to pay and get stars, which I also think they need a better rewards program. Dunkins is far superior.
It was so much worse before. Consolidating many systems to one was a lot of work.

Mannn I hate the SSO tech at my company, went with it because it was already included (Azure) but it feels like they are always playing catchup to you guys and others. Wish I was here when they decided, the amount of time we spend integrating apps and turning on MFA is ridiculous.
Your old company made the switch last year.
Microsoft includes our stuff in Azure for a reason. Their security tech is fucking terrible. Almost all of those hosted platforms are spending their time fending off attacks. Instead of going after thousands of orgs they only have one or two targets now. It’s so easy.

Hey all, good to see this place has continued to be busy since ive been gone. Been a long year, got hit by a drunk driver on my bike that probably should have been the end of me, but the rehab has been long but productive and here I am checking in on you idiots. Sox take the central next year and Ill be there to watch it. Hope everyone is good.
Word of advice to anyone who gets seriously injured, take the rehab seriously with tunnel vision. Just this morning I ran 3 miles sub 9 min on a leg that was shattered earlier this year. Attack that shit
