And to bring this full circle, thanks to watching some PBS/Geoffrey Baer, DYK that the Chicago Bears Soldier Field was built on a (wait for it... wait for it...) literal garbage landfill as it was originally about 150 yards into Lake Michigan, but was where people dumped their trash during the early years of Chicago. They drove pilings through the trash piles and into bedrock to anchor the stadium.

I love that you spent that much effort on this post and all my other posts you meltdown over. I own you, and never forget it as you seeth over the next one, and the ones after that.

Yeah, maybe they decide to spend a few bucks to supplement after the last signing, but they burnt the bridge with Giolito.

Who is trading an equal CF for Robert and why wouldn't they just keep the one they have?

Just eat the deal. You hav3 to pay him anyway, so pay him to go away.

Funny how these clowns are NOW posting Japanese market rumors

And on top of it, you aren't picking a guy at that stage who you don't already have an agreement 99% done with.

It's almost a Soxtalk meme at this point.

Oh I am certain of what I said.

Sox related people have been saying it for years.

Also worth noting that while the Sox are putting out 40m total for this signing, I bet a sizable chunk of this comes back to them in the form of Japanese ad sales. Wouldn't be surprised at all see Japanese ads in the park for opening day, plus some specialty media deals.

Good call.

I would imagine they still get a drat pick tied offer then, right?

Same. Dudes market COLLAPSED. But the good news is this is the type of lottery ticket that could pay huge. If he turns out near his ceiling, even if the Sox still suck, he could bring a haul.

You jack up his price at the very least, assuming they aren't paying for this dude by dumping Robert.

2 years and then free agency? Solid contract to the kid too. Smart.

Wow, this is great! Glad to see Ish paying dividends.

Dude was at D2 Grand Valley State in Michigan before that. Know someone who played with him.

DJ in the cheese grater yall.

It's almost like playing guys while hurt has consequences.

That's why Caleb Williams

Gainbridge and Lucas Oil were very publicly funded. Indiana throws money at businesses, not public infrastructure.

I would hope this would quiet the ND fans, but we all know better.
