I think it is TeamMachado leaking to get more teams involved.

Didn't Cohen make the pro bowl as a special teamer?

If you want to be in the business of giving away potential NBA talent, I know a front office for you.

Is this the part where you narrow the focus to just this deal and pretend that the Bulls haven't been giving away second round picks like strip club flyers in Las Vegas?

When you are in a full out talent acquisition mode, you don't shut off any potential avenue of talent. While rare, you can get starters and even the occasional star out of the second round.

The Hosmer deal was stupid the minute it was signed. Machado and Harper are different animals.

I mean maybe the market really is broken this time, but it just feels like with teams having more money than ever, that eventually this dam will burst.

It feels like we are near the end of the cycle. It seems like the second to last step is always where people are amazed at how low the offers are, followed by the player signing a contract that was above where most people were comfortable.

This at least makes me feel a bit better.

Supposedly it is conditional, so hopefully those conditions are ridiculous, but hey, I can dream, right?

What trash.

Glad to hear Micker is progressing. He is a dude I would love to see breakout and make it. The power and that arm are hard to find.

Would you turn that down for 10/300? That is a lot of promised money to leave to chance.

95% of these guys are all an act, which is almost worst.

Hopefully they aren't seeing exactly how low Machado will go before agreeing to go to NYC.

And we beat WSI.

Effect.

Class dismissed.

I can think of a few hundred million reasons.
