Need to see one in the wild before I believe they are real.

Honestly it is waste of time. It can be 1 billion, 2 billion, or 3 billion, the net result is the same. MLB teams are going to be looking at major cuts. You can keep whining about the number, but the end result is how teams react to that loss.

Do you honestly believe they are going to be firing chunks of front offices, screaming about losses, and then spending record numbers on contracts? I know you think the numbers are wrong, but do you think they are wrong AND they will act like they are wrong? I don't, which is all that really matters. Teams are going to be looking to cut payroll. It isn't a conspiracy there. If they really want to make headway with the PA, they have to act like they are broke too, which furthers my point.

The one thing that has changed big time in the last 7 months is the value of cash. While I think the DeGrom stuff is no go with the new ownership. SPs with big contracts are probably a lot cheaper in terms of prospects than they were a year ago. MLB just took $3 billion in losses, with a high probability of more losses on the horizon.

Bat flips, excessive celebrations, kneeling for the anthem, BLM patches on uniforms... etc.

They would either love each other or f@cking hate each other. No in between.

I'd rather have Ricky. At least we know he can relate to minority players.

He seems to have his eyes set on being the President of an organization versus a GM.

2020 Election Thoughts
The dirty tricks campaign that worked in 2016 is utterly failing in 2020. Even if it were actually true, because it is a Trump product, 2/3 of the country won't believe it.

For what? More business loans?

I think there are a fair amount of scared Republicans who also want Trump to lose. They can't say it out loud for fear of having the Trump Cult aimed at them, but they are there.

I will put it this way, I would rather it be Ozzie than Tony.

Have we signed Bauer yet?

FS: White Sox interested in 16-year-old Cuban OF Luis Pino
Plus they are also older and have way more experience at higher levels of baseball, and more success at those higher levels.

Nope.

Offseason Targets
If the Sox are serious about TLR, there is no better statement that Rick Hahn isn't getting what he wants. NOTHING about Tony fits with what RHs wishlist was just a few short weeks ago.

Mazara and Right Field Thread
Going with feelings over odds repeatedly is the quickest way to fund that casino expansion.

Offseason Targets
If JR told Hahn its TLR, then he is hiring TLR. That's what being a middle manager is.

Deal.
