Great for Jason. Anything that gets him away from Detroit more often.

Here's the thing. All of the teams who could use a Luis Robert are still very convinced that all it will take is a fairly mediocre offer to get him, and Chris Getz has done literally nothing publicly to dissuade teams and fans alike that Getz is either willing to move Robert, or needs to move Robert. While it can be argued that the fans might not be in the best position to know what Chris Getz is willing to do, his fellow GMs sure have an opinion that doesn't match this at all./

Most GMs who sign players to keep them, make it clear to the marketplace, fans, and player that they are here to stay. The only "nonsensical narratives" that need to end, are the ones that shift every debate to "what makes Getz look best".

Yeah, I hadn't seen this yet, and it seems like this should be headline baseball news, and it isn't. Weird.

Which is wild since we have years of precedent here. Also if this was the case, why wouldn't they just say this and stop the trade talks.

Good for Jason.

Jimmy just reported the Sox are a week away from the new period and have a significant amount unaccounted for.

Are we really upset that the Bears aren't the prohibitive playoff favorite a year after being the worst team in the NFC Central and being DOA as a team? Jesus people, enjoy the moment. This team is at least a year ahead of schedule for the talent on the roster, and that is without even talking about the injuries especially on the defensive side of the ball.

The injuries have been a big problem too. The linebackers on back have been mostly hurt this year.

NCAs are wild.

They are a total bend/don't break defense. Teams move the ball between the twenty's and stall in the red zone.

And with that kind of amount, it is probably going to be paid off at the end of the lease cycle.

The only reason Sox Park is owed anything is because of the renovations.

No need for the idiotic politics unless people want to find somewhere else to post.

How about this for a thought. Typically the best path to being an effective major league starter, is to start games as much as possible. Are there exceptions? Sure. Are most starters brought to the majors as starters? Also yes.

Especially after a couple of years of "character matter" propaganda.

If he was THAT hated, it wasn't just one comment.

I would be curious to hear more on the details here. What is his deal? Bad teammate could mean a lot of things.

How many slots would they have to punt on to make it work? It would look like the Sox 2020 draft. You got Crochet and literally nothing else

No one else can offer him 11 mil in reality. Tampa would punt 5+ signings to save a million bucks to do it.

They will know his demands when they draft him. Also keep in mind the slot difference between pick 1 and 2 is almost a million dollars. If someone demands full slot and overplays their hand and drops from 1 to 2, they cost themselves a lot of money.

And even just the extra money they get in the top slot for the 5% overage adds up to some decent cash cash, let alone what they can save under slot.

Now with 11% more catches!

Hopefully when they are pitching closer to their ceilings.
