Why are we giving this equal treatment? People aren't acting responsibly. They won't act responsibly. We don't have this option as a society, because people aren't willing. We as a society have to go to the next step if we want to stop people from dying.

You don't actually believe this do you? Coming off of the best season in a decade you can't really believe they are afraid of the wimpy Chicago media.

Been to the first two Rangers stadiums, will eventually check out the new one.

But thy aren't, so now what?

They need to, but they don't. We know this. It is human behavior. People are dying because of it. It is an empty platitude.

With the pandemic taking a huge hole out of the revenues of professional sports. it is worth a mental exercise to expect there to be some pretty significant sellers this winter. Some had been trying to sell before, such as Cleveland, and others have been mentioned like Texas. It is also worth mentioning a team like the Cubs who has a TON of debt and debt payments and coming off of a year where their core didn't perform and are looking to make some changes. So who will be selling off parts?

The Harper contract might actually be a bargain if things get back to normal in the next few years.

I can't see them bringing him back at an arbitration price. They might well non-tender and resign him cheaper, but not at something like $6 or 7 million.

But I am sure this one is relevant and unique.

Grandal fWAR 1.7 McCann 1.5. Granted Grandal played a decent amount more, but when you take pitch framing and catching D into account, it was more even than I realized. The numbers also look way different if you start looking at something other than a pandemic shortened season.

Your original post centered on tacking "loser" on the name of the team's manager. Either you don't understand what our managers name actually is, or you were making sarcastic comments. If you can't handle being called on that, you weren't going to fit in here anyways. Good luck in your Sox travels.

Maybe stick to substance, and don't post lame sarcastic comments, and you will get substance in response.

No one else was willing to bid this for him last year when there were zero economic problems. What makes you think that now that teams are losing hundreds of millions of dollars, in gate and TV money, that they will now be willing to pay it? You use the Indians as an example, but they were cutting money left and right over the last year, even before Covid. That is only going to accelerate now.

The answer is they never have, and never will.

Unless someone enacts the 25th amendment, it is up to the President to do what is best for the country in this situation. Seeing as he won't start doing that now, I can only imagine we have to wait and see what happens and hope nothing horrible happens in the interm. You know, just like the last 3.5 years.

Man, the Trump administration could decapitate its own government through its own negligence. How ironic would it be for Nancy Pelosi to take over because this administration was too stupid to take basic precautions.

For the record, you are not the only one with that right. When you post, people are free to respond to it.

Grandall is owed $18+m a year for the next three years who is going to trade for that contract? #2, they can still offer McCann a fraction of that total and sign him.

Adding loser to his name.

Ah yes. That is why a 5 year olds style nickname wasn't funny.

I can't help but think that all of the experts pegged this as a last place, or close to last place, team. I didn't have much in the way of expectations this season for the Bears, and they have succeeded at being fairly mediocre even at 3-1

She could have easily been sitting next to one of us at a restaurant fully negligent, KNOWING that she had been exposed six ways to Sunday, with absolutely zero recourse if you die.
