QUOTE (AustinIllini @ Mar 10, 2016 -> 10:28 AM) South San Antonio makes no sense. Austin is 80 miles from San Antonio, so a team is better off building on the TX130 between Austin and San Antonio or I-35 between Austin and San Antonio. San Antonio at least has supported a professional franchise.

I hope Arrieta gets everything he asks for, and more.

The problem is many of the guys who put on the biggest shows are also the first to meltdown when someone else does it.

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Mar 10, 2016 -> 11:49 AM) Said it would be about 10 days before he got in a game. What's it been 7 0r 8 days ? They said it on the 6th. Dan Hayes Verified account ‏@CSNHayes Mar 6 Austin Jackson is expected to report to camp tomorrow. Is likely a week to 10 days out from playing in A games.

QUOTE (WhiteSoxLifer @ Mar 10, 2016 -> 11:10 AM) I'm not saying bruce is the answer is just really believe they might still be a big bat away still. Bruce isn't a "big bat" anymore. Heck his numbers especially in 2014 were more like Avi than a big bat. Even his 2015 year was WAY under what he used to be.

QUOTE (WhiteSoxLifer @ Mar 10, 2016 -> 10:47 AM) But is that going to be enough Probably not. Though that group will make it closer than Bruce alone.

QUOTE (WhiteSoxLifer @ Mar 10, 2016 -> 10:33 AM) Thats amount isn't far from what the White Sox spent in free agency this offseason. And they got a lot more bang from their buck getting new catchers, Latos, Jackson, and Rollins instead of just Bruce.

This summer we are probably driving down to Galveston Island with the kids. I can't wait.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Mar 9, 2016 -> 08:18 PM) It looked really bad full speed, but in slo mo you can see Erhoff sold it a lot more than it seemed in real time You can also see he left his feet to make the hit, which no one talked about.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Mar 9, 2016 -> 10:55 PM) What are we missing here? Does the rest of the league think he was overrated? That seems like a steal? On a sidenote, why the f*** are we backloading the deal? Why, when we have a bagillion bucks in cap space, wouldn't we front load the deal a bit more (I realize it poses some risk if a player stinks, but still, we have tons of cap space). They expect the cap to go up a lot soon.

There are $12.5 million reasons that Jay Bruce isn't going to happen. This screams of writers trying to make a fit where one really doesn't exist.

QUOTE (LDF @ Mar 9, 2016 -> 04:55 PM) yes but it is not affecting the salary cap. same thing as a player who was on a 1 month IR .... example Kuger. It does effect the salary cap.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Mar 9, 2016 -> 04:32 PM) Agree. And then bat Melky 5, Lawrie 6, LaRoche 7. I like it.

670 The Score ‏@670TheScore 11m11 minutes ago #Bears have re-signed RB Jazquizz Rodgers and T Nick Becton to 1-year deals. Free agency tracker: http://cbsloc.al/1p5FRJA

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Mar 9, 2016 -> 04:21 PM) Hasn't Rollins been in the 2-hole as well when he has played? If Rollins has anything left in the tank, he would be the ideal guy for the 2 hole.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Mar 9, 2016 -> 04:08 PM) Money? Maybe I'm wrong, but don't guys on LTIR still get paid? If you retire, you walk away from your contract. Bingo. Which is why those guys are perfectly willing to go down that road. LTIR gives a cap break for the injury, while the penalty is still less than the player being on the roster at the cheaper years cap hit rate.

Matt Flynn @mflynn3 Wow I know I'm going to get killed for this and I don't have a lot of room to talk, but this latest QB contract is unbelievable........ ?

Adam Schefter ‏@AdamSchefter 4m4 minutes ago Bears are signing former Broncos LB Danny Trevathan, per source.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Mar 9, 2016 -> 02:45 PM) I still find it ridiculous that they didn't grandfather those contracts in somehow since they were legal under the old CBA. Totally agree. I don't see how you can penalize a team for a contract that the league agreed to years ago.

QUOTE (hi8is @ Mar 9, 2016 -> 02:48 PM) Who on that list, without Turner... Is good for long relief? Jennings? None of them are true long reliever's. They are all short guys.

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Mar 9, 2016 -> 02:43 PM) Yeah unless we trade one of the above I don't see a great fit for Turner. I think Kahnle is very much in the mix as well. There are a lot of pitchers on that list that would net you something in return, if you wanted to go that route.

Avi with a base hit to RC to drive in Frazier. 3-1 OAK.

Details on the Hossa recapture penalty, for those who are curious. https://blackhawksbreakdown.wordpress.com/2...pon-retirement/

Frazier almost hit that one out to RC.

The NHL calls the charges against Kane "unfounded". The matter is officially closed as far as the NHL is concerned. https://twitter.com/TramyersCSN/status/707661968237133824
