Nice try with the straw man. Nobody said anything about spending $. There’s different ways to allocate money besides these type of deals. Thanks for asking.

I agree but there’s a whole lot in between paying Semien top $ and singing Adam Eaton types. Tampa does it every year.

Are championships won making these sort of deals? Signing players who are at/past peak production for top $ isn’t a recipe for success. If it were the last 15y would’ve been a lot more successful for the Yankees.

We don’t want this deal.

I would’ve done that Kluber deal that Tampa did. Pretty good risk reward imo

I like that they’re being aggressive but they seem to lack creativity. Always going after recent performance (paying top $ for recent success ) isn’t always the formula to win.

JV is a royal prick - I’m glad he’s not on our team.

I love Rodon. I’m a NC State grad and live a few miles from where he does in the off-season. As far as the QO, man I don’t know. It feels like a complete crap shoot with his health and durability. It’s never been a question of wanting him at his best.

Tepera’s comments didn’t cause our top players to puke

Not a single xbh from Eloy, Luis, Tim, Jose, and Yoan… all of our best players collectively shit the bed at once (starters included)

Is it bad that this series went exactly as I thought? Our pitchers unable to throw strikes and get ahead, and our hitters undisciplined. You could see it coming a mile away.

Goodwin looks like he doesn’t even care

Big hit!! goodwin, WTF you doing?

Vaughn is the oldest looking 23y old I’ve ever seen. Dude looks like he could be a 50y old Chemistry teacher at a high school.

Well, if I complain about Hahn I should probably admit when he was right.

I was pretty loud in the offseason about how I thought the trade for Lynn was a bad move. Thought Dunning would take a big step forward and be close to as good as Lynn (or better!). Boy was I wrong. Obviously not only has Lynn played well, but he was extended. Meanwhile Dunning has looked pretty pedestrian (unless I’m missing something). Well done to Sox front office here!

Cubs will win the deal long term but it’ll be worth it if we win the WS this season. Everyone probably agrees with this POV,

It’s inexcusable either way, but to do that to an autistic boy? He can go rot.

Based on Instagram, it’s highly likely he had Dominos delivered to the dugout.

Honestly I feel like the Sox’s odds are too favorable. I’d probably put us around 5-6 at this point until I’m convinced Robert/Eloy are healthy/productive for the stretch run.

Anyone complaining is crazy.

Kimbrel can always be flipped this winter or next deadline. Never know how it works out

Look guys, we don’t get unlimited chances. We have Rodon this year who’s pitching incredible. You don’t know how some of these guys do in future seasons let alone if they’ll even be there. look at what happened to the Cubs “dynasty”. Sometimes you need to shoot

Madrigal: baserunning, inconsistent defense, and injuries. I can live with this trade.

Sometimes if you wait it out, the prices can come down. Possible letting all of the action happen early on big names will benefit Hahn.
