MLB Trade Rumors‏ @mlbtraderumors 7m7 minutes ago Yankees Reportedly Finalizing Five-Year Extension With Brian Cashman https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2017/12/yankees-extend-brian-cashman-five-years.html …://https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2017...ve-years.html …

QUOTE (KagakuOtoko @ Dec 8, 2017 -> 12:08 PM) How was he acquitted? What in the actual heck? Again, the rules are written in such a way that it is really difficult to convict a police officer in the line of duty. The level of intent that has to be proved is nearly impossible to achieve in a court of law.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Dec 8, 2017 -> 12:07 PM) Maybe I'm reading it wrong, but I think it implies as long as he ends the season on the 25 man roster the 90 day rule would rollover into 2019. If he is on the active roster for less than 90 days in 2018 as a Rule 5 pick, then however much he is short of 90 days carries into 2019. For example: Debut is made on August 1, on active roster for 60 days. Then the player has to be on the active roster for at 30 days in 2019 before the player can be sent to the minors without being exposed to waivers or offered back to the original team. As long as they are on the roster in 2018 for 90 days or more, the drafting team enters into the 2019 season with no roster restrictions at all.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Dec 8, 2017 -> 11:39 AM) BTW, just this note on Burdi in the Baseball America article SouthSider posted: If that's true I'm even more in favor of grabbing Burdi. Yeah he pretty much would need to be active on the 25 man roster by July 1, give or take a couple of days. I love the idea of taking him personally.

Bob Nightengale‏Verified account @BNightengale 44m44 minutes ago Free agent 1B Eric Hosmer met with members of the San Diego #Padres contingent Thursday as the Padres increase their aggressive pursuit.

Jerry Crasnick‏Verified account @jcrasnick 3h3 hours ago Mike Fiers turned down a 2-year offer in the $10-11M range from #Orioles to sign for one year and $6M with #Tigers. If he throws 170-180 innings in Detroit this year, Fiers has a chance to more than make up the difference in arbitration as a 5-plus player a year from now.

Mark Lazerus‏Verified account @MarkLazerus 9m9 minutes ago Hmm... Corey Crawford is getting the bulk of the work at this morning skate, and is in the usual starter's net.

QUOTE (bmags @ Dec 8, 2017 -> 10:43 AM) Would be interested to hear market. One of those situations where I feel like the deadline is more likely. Teams would want him at a lower discount with a higher certainty he will be a part of a playoff push. Deadline makes a lot more sense. With free agency pending no one is going to pay up for him. The O's missed his window.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Dec 8, 2017 -> 10:22 AM) Has anyone addressed the other side of this, why exactly anyone should care about Alan Dershowitz's social life? Seriously, Alan Dershowitz has never lost a friend over an argument before and the fact that it happened once is national news worth showing up on a message board for a Chicagoan based baseball team? OH damn. If this could only be the standard for all of the posts in this forum, I would be thrilled.

Should the Bulls have made a run at Okafor at this price? http://www.sportsonearth.com/article/26311...klyn-nets-76ers

Matt Eddy‏ @MattEddyBA 49m49 minutes ago Here are players @Mariners traded to acquire their international bonus pool money: SS Rayder Ascanio C David Banuelos RHP Robert Dugger RHP Nick Neidert SS Chris Torres RHP Thyago Vieira If Seattle signs Shohei Ohtani for full bonus amount, would that be considered a trade?

Buster Olney‏Verified account @Buster_ESPN 34m34 minutes ago After MLB's repeated no-tolerance warnings about cheating in Shohei Ohtani bidding, some club officials expect an official review/scrutiny no matter where he signs.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Dec 7, 2017 -> 11:35 PM) Is Nick Burdi available? If so, what's his current ETA of coming back? He is out there for the Rule 5

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Dec 7, 2017 -> 09:58 PM) When was the last time the Sox had a guy like Chapman, Jensen, Miller , Britton, a Wade Davis type when he was at the top of his game ? That's what you are going to need and then a guy just a notch below them. A potential dominant and deep bullpen in our minors now ? I haven't seen 1 dominant RP pitcher ever come from the Sox minors no matter how good the system was . The Sox turned Bobby Jenks out at the top of the list.

QUOTE (fathom @ Dec 8, 2017 -> 07:01 AM) Not if you're getting someone that fits the timetable though as a long-term core piece They have already traded away guys in that time frame.

QUOTE (ChiSoxJon @ Dec 7, 2017 -> 06:43 PM) Personally think he had star potential He seemed to be coming along. After the injury, he never even flashed that he could make it.

QUOTE (GenericUserName @ Dec 7, 2017 -> 04:48 PM) Telling the White Sox to pick Trout instead of Jared Mitchell is in like the top 3 things I would do if I ever created a time machine. I would love to see how Mitchell developed if he hadn't destroyed his ankle in that spring training.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Dec 7, 2017 -> 04:47 PM) My point is you're going to find people with Abreu's skill set who regress big time at the age you're talking about and you're going to find guys who don't regress at all, this isn't a skill set thing, it's an individual thing. There's going to be a lot that goes into an Abreu decision all together, the focal point isn't going to be well he's a lot like Edwin Encarnacion so lets extend him! I would be shocked if the front office isn't using some kind of comparison strategy as to how and when to extend older players. With all of the data sources there are out there they would be fools to not be looking at historical data to decide when to let a player walk away and when to extend them.

QUOTE (KagakuOtoko @ Dec 7, 2017 -> 04:25 PM) Who at this point is anti-Moore? I thought most of the Republicans jumped on board after Trump said, YES TO MOORE! At the highest levels the National Republican Senatorial Committee has refused support. There are other scattered individuals who have also said no.

QUOTE (Tony @ Dec 7, 2017 -> 04:34 PM) Which is why with two years left, a decision on an extension doesn't need to be decided today. Except I would much rather extending him 5 years today, than worrying about trying to extend him after he has aged two more years.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Dec 7, 2017 -> 04:33 PM) I hate trying to guess one someone's skill set is going to go away. All these guys are different, who the hell knows when Abreu is going to start to regress. Well when you talk about trade or extend, this is exactly what the front office has to decide and other teams have to judge. It is absolutely the focal point of what to do with Abreu.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Dec 7, 2017 -> 04:29 PM) Dude, Age 33-34 Miguel Cabrera had his OPS decline by .228. That name should scare you as much as Encarnacion gives you hope. The same could have been said for Abreu last year. Hitters hit.
