In the 2nd or 3rd rounds? Sounds like exactly where he is projected.

Drop his K rate and he hits the powerball.

It almost has to be Thome, doesn't it?

If the offers are bad enough that the Sox are in, why wouldn't he just go back to Japan and try again next year?

Jerry selling the team to Ishbia to pay off operations debt seems pretty obvious to me.

It's like the ghost of Rick Hahn made that statement saying everything, and nothing, all at the same time.

Because Trade WInds is a Trade Deadline forum. We don't use it during the winter.

It is wild to see the Pirates out there involved in everything. Meanwhile in Chicago it looks like Charlie Brown trick or treating.

Hey Chris Getz finally listened to me!

Too bad they weren't willing to do this a couple of years ago, it might have kept their window open.

Jerry is running a 90's era payroll...

It feels like it is happening more often, and the Sox did benefit from it in the past.

You keep bringing up soil. What exactly are you trying to say then by bringing it up, if you point isn't that it can't be built on? Obviously I am leaving out the race based stuff you keep throwing out there, and sticking to things that are apt here.

Was posted about in another thread, but the new Ken Burns American Revolution series was vintage Burns work. Well work the time to put into it and watch it.

The last thing this franchise is worried about is the 40. A large portion of it would clear with no issue.

Breaking Bad took half a season to get going.

Yes Master.

Pretty sure rushing the kid to the majors won't help that.

And even if he does, send him down.

These moves prove he won't. They are hording bad OFs.

So to reiterate, you can never have enough pitching. Thanks for coming to my ToxTalk.

They misspelled "tear", because you cry if you sign them.

Repeat after me: You can never have enough pitching.

Good call, I meant to post about it in the TV thread, but just a vintage Burns show. 5 stars. Highly recommend.

To be frank, you are taking the financing failure of projects to mean that something can't be built on the site, and that couldn't be more wrong. Having literally sat on Planning Commissions for about a decade, and being involved in the planning process for major projects, most of them never get built because of being able to raise financing, not because of soil or whatever else you are pushing here. Pretty sure that is not going to be the problem here with the guy who owns the Fire. Realistically all of the site remediation stuff is what costs will be pushed off on to the state and city as a redevelopment site to get this property back on the tax rolls at a massive number. This is what they love to put under the category of "infrastructure" we hear so much about. And for the record I am pretty sure the freaking One World Trade Center site weighs more per square foot than any other building project that could be put on the 78, and the WTC complex is literally the old Hudson River bank that was filled in over the centuries. They found a 17th century boat when they put the pilons in for the new WTC. Pretty sure the engineers can handle this.
