The Sox could do a lot worse than hooking themselves to the money train that is the Cubs.

This goes back to the question I just recently asked, but if pure free agents are this cheap, you have to think that this is going to hit trade values for similar players on the trade market. If you can get Markakis for $6 million dollars, or trade for Pederson with an eight figure annual hit, that has to hit his trade value. If nothing else, it makes me thankful that RH and the Sox decided to start their rebuild a couple of years back and not trying to sell right now. An argument could well be made that the Quintana trade was the absolute top of the mountain in trade value with what has happened since then.

What is really interesting here is that Manny and his team have to decide if this kind of pricing is the new normal or a temporary thing that they should consider waiting out a year or two by taking a short term contract to try getting another bite at the apple in a short time period.

Again, the entire reason that Rich Hill is getting mentioned is because the original tweets which started this conversation mentioned him. The tweeter came back a day later and said that Hill was not going to be moved in this deal, it happened. Now back to original scheduled outrage machine.

Finally saw Baby Driver, and have no idea why people were excited about that movie. It was a two hour car chase.

Bingo. It IS money, and it should be obvious why.

Sounds like after thumb surgery, Carter could miss the rest of the season. In Bulls speak, he probably had his thumb amputated.

Bruh.

Timely article.

With as many free agent OFs as are out there still, I am not entirely convinced that Pederson should have a large trade value. Instead of moving assets, why wouldn't they chase someone else?

Cash again? Come on.

I was specifically told he sucks because all Bears QBs suck.

Two cost controlled high ceiling lefties, plus a lottery ticket infielder for an 1B with a year to FA? Yeah, I would do that too.

The original tweets contained all of this info, but hey, whatever works.

That's a hell no from me.

NatGeo and History have done quite a few shows in this format.

Or, this is a way of trying to show Machado they are willing to move the timetable forward if he comes here, which is what about 80% of Soxtalk has spent the winter begging for because they can't handle the losing anymore.

To me this is yet another signal the Sox think they are landing a whale.

Gonzalez has a nice profile. No star tools, but no real weaknesses either.

There is a much better chance that Bush is Hawkins than Tatis, and this is coming from someone who is excited about that pick.

No. I do not. Basabe is already a borderline top 100 5 tool player. Bush is none of those things.
