MLB Trade Rumors‏ @mlbtraderumors 21m21 minutes ago #MNTwins won't pick up option over Glen Perkins, but could he still return? https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2017/10/twins-inform-glen-perkins-his-2018-option-will-be-declined.html …://https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2017...declined.html …

QUOTE (illinilaw08 @ Oct 18, 2017 -> 04:01 PM) Is discussing racial issues a waste of time? Your posts today sure appear to take that position. The dog whistle has sounded. This is what fake news is to the right.

QUOTE (illinilaw08 @ Oct 18, 2017 -> 03:18 PM) The rest of it is only a "waste of time" if you aren't impacted negatively by, or have benefited from, racist policies in the past. And there you go.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Oct 18, 2017 -> 02:50 PM) He's also very racist and has implemented racist policy and put other racists into positions of power. It doesn't stop there unless you just want to ignore racism. Trump can be both extremely self-centered/narcissistic and also racist, and both of those factors can play an important role. He kicked off his campaign with slurs against Mexicans and later his "ban all Muslims"/dancing in the streets on 9/11 nonsense, and neither of those were the result of personal slights. e: soxbadger might still be right in that politically, the best way to bring down trump is through some other angles, but that doesn't make the underlying issues go away SB is right in the fact that "racism" has been watered down to the point where it means nothing to the general populous anymore, and it is fairly useless politically from one party to the other. It is used so often, it has lost all meaning.

QUOTE (illinilaw08 @ Oct 18, 2017 -> 02:34 PM) I think it's dangerous to ignore the idea that Trump hasn't made racially motivated decisions while in office to appeal to his base. The common thread with him going after McCain or McConnell or any of the other old white dudes in the Republican Party is that they criticized Trump. It's reasonable to ask - why is Trump fighting a culture war against the NFL players who are kneeling during the National Anthem as a protest against racial inequality while refusing to overtly condemn the white supremacists in Charlottesville? I mean, not everything with him has to be racial - and I'm not sure there's a link on the treatment of soldiers killed in action - but to ignore some of the patterns of Donald Trump with respect to people of color is pretty dangerous IMO. That is where this all should have stopped. The rest of it is a waste of time. The man is an insecure idiot who goes after whoever and whatever he thinks will either benefit him, or who comes at him.

A small part of me wishes Kopech wasn't around just see what the hype on Hansen would look like if he had the organization to himself.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Oct 18, 2017 -> 11:29 AM) What does race have to do with any of this? Do we really need to list all of the white people that this idiot has gone after? Can I start with a bid of John McCain?

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Oct 18, 2017 -> 11:28 AM) Honestly...how does this have any bearing on Gar or Pax or anyone else. This was two players getting into it and one ultimately snapped. If this has been running for years, this is more on Hoiberg than anyone else for not being able to control and mold his lockerroom. Either that or telling management that this situation wasn't going to work and get rid of one of them.

Forget suspending Portis, they just need to make him sit and watch this trainwreck.

QUOTE (BamaDoc @ Oct 18, 2017 -> 10:39 AM) I was wondering if the rule 5 order follows the summer draft order and whether we will have pick number 4? Yes and yes. The only exception would be if any teams in front of us have 40 men on the roster at the deadline, they will not be permitted to pick a player.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Oct 18, 2017 -> 09:29 AM) Frankly, I don't see how you can have Niko and Portis on the same team anymore. Fights happen, but this one went a bit too far. If Portis did this on the street, he would be in jail. If this happened with someone from another team during a game, they would be gone a long, long time. Portis needs to get at least 20 games IMO. then again if he were Michael Jordan, no one would say anything for decades.

QUOTE (CWSpalehoseCWS @ Oct 17, 2017 -> 04:45 PM) And any team would be stupid to not ask the Sox to overpay. Hahn stood firm, and GM's are going to return the favor. I'd take a hard pass on Grandal. Let Narvaez and Smith continue to split time or sign a FA and hope to catch catch lightning in a bottle for the deadline. I am going to guess the White Sox bring in another 4A catcher as a stop gap to add to the competition. I wouldn't be shocked if they went back to Gio Soto with another MiLB deal for about a million or so, and let him know that he is #3 on the depth chart and would need to beat someone out to be on the 25 man roster.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Oct 17, 2017 -> 04:18 PM) Would approval from the Yankees or Mets be needed for that? I know it was a big thing when the National's started so close to Baltimore It will probably never happen for that and other rea$on$, but that doesn't mean it isn't the actual best idea out there.
