QUOTE (chw42 @ Nov 8, 2016 -> 09:04 PM) Bernie would have destroyed Trump. All the concerns of Bernie being a democratic socialist would have gone out the window. Anyone else would have destroyed Trump.

One thing that should be obvious tonight. There are a whole lot of people who aren't happy in the state of the country right now. If the GOP had nominated someone who wasn't a lunatic, this election would have been over for the Democrats an hour ago.

So about that Trump turning out voters thing...

QUOTE (hi8is @ Nov 8, 2016 -> 05:49 PM) Incorrect. He said he would expect a Sale / Boston deal to center around AB. https://twitter.com/barstoolwsd/status/796122487914369024 The Frazier extension is very interesting.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Nov 8, 2016 -> 04:00 PM) Exactly. Abreu on 3 years and a pretty cheap deal and only giving up 2-3 good prospects seems better overall than signing Encarnacion to a 4-5 year deal, giving up $100-125 mill to a 34 year old (Abreu also has age on his side for the most part) DH/1B, and losing a prospect (draft pick). The other side is that you are also giving up on a lot of production as well.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Nov 8, 2016 -> 02:57 PM) Am I crazy to think that any team with interest in EE should also have similar interest in Abreu? Well, he would be WAY cheaper, even with the spectre of arbitration hanging over him.

Jon Heyman ‏@JonHeyman 6m6 minutes ago Fernando rodney option declined by marlins. Escalators/incentives made it expensive.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Nov 8, 2016 -> 11:20 AM) Chapman and Jansen are awesome but paying $90 million + for any reliever that throws 70 innings a year is insane. Create relievers by using failed starters. Trade them when they get expensive. Rinse and repeat. Though it is hard to argue that Chapman and Miller didn't get their teams to the World Series. Without them, do those teams make it? With Cleveland no way. The Cubs? Maybe?

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Nov 8, 2016 -> 11:15 AM) The deadline helped value for relievers. If Boston wants just Jones, start with Devers. If we deal Sale or Q to Boston, there is literally no good reason not to include Jones to get back another player or two.

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Nov 8, 2016 -> 10:44 AM) Have we gotten anything on what the payroll will be? No point until we know if we are buying or selling.
