ITS HAPPENING!_!_!_>@#L>#_)IU!@_

We DO have SOME evidence from the brothers time involved in the Phoenix Suns.

It is nice to see a bit bigger of a name moved, hopefully this starts to break the dam.

Look the idea that holding on to Luis and seeing if you get a rebound next year is a sane one. The team is actually at such a low payroll ebb they could do this in concept. My issue is 100% betting on Luis Robert to be healthy, again. Even if he has actually been healthy this year for like the second time in his career, would you bet on him doing it two years in a row with $20 million on the line? Eh. For me, I would even take a decent pitching return to move him along and let the next team worry about it.

Even better!

Looks like another low return. The Os got the #19 and an unranked prospect from the Mets.

Just hit the wire.

I do not believe that is allowed.

Not to mention it is quite literally in there that he is paying off Jerry's debts, and that is what is spending his money on. That and (not listed) most likely a stadium.

Don't give Getz any ideas.

Yes because he hasn't been spending already, but sure. Stay mad.

Dude has probably a billion dollars in lifetime earnings ahead of him if he lives up to his ceiling. If he is content after only his rookie contract, he was never going to be good.

Or when we get a new owner...

If we take 22 players at an average of 800k (so slight above min) that is $17.6 million. My guess is that Tauchman and Wilson probably get moved (Wilson a lot more than Tauch) so that moves that money out. Civale probably doesn't, but I am going to guess we non-tender him. We could easily spend $30-50 million this off season without really hurting.

Yeah, I went through this. Literally the only guy the Sox are obligated to in 2026 is Benny. Even if they didn't trade Robert, he is on a team option. A couple of guys hit arb, like Wilson and I think Civale, and then whatever weirdness that Tauch has. Other than that, the entire roster is pre-arb or free agents.

All of Soxtalk was laughing at it, and then it turned like the Anakin meme.

I want to say Nightengale was like a week or two ahead of everyone.

I say this with all due respect of Bruce Levine... the man is terrible at his job, and worthless as a,reporter. What was the last thing he broke besides wind?

This probably puts AZ in the sellers camp.

Look, if he signs anything it will function as a 1 year deal with something close to $20 million so he still gets paid next year, but allows him another bite at the apple in a year. To be fully honest, if he were willing to take a 4 @ 10 per type of deal, I would be convinced that he is hurt and looking for money because he has confidence in his future.

Harold Baines never had the peak that Dawson had. For my sake, if I were a HOF voter, I would look for two things. #1 A huge peak where they would be one of the top players at their position (if not THE best) putting up league leading numbers over a period of at least 3 to 5 seasons. #2 Longevity that puts them into the historic rankings. Harold never had #1. He never hit 30 homers in a season. He drove in 100 in exactly one season. I LOVED Harold Baines, but I can't look at him as a HOF with guys like the guys who made it (and didn't) from that era. I look at Mark Buehrle the same way. Really good peak, not superstar peak. He never led the league in wins, never had a sub 3 era, was a top 10 Cy Young once (5th), and didn't have an especially long career where he racked up a lot of wins or other counting stats.

If there is to be an extension, Robert has to be willing to sign it.
