QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Feb 5, 2015 -> 04:35 PM) It's important to note that the penalty money form this MUST be paid within 30 days. So the team that signs him is going to have to write a check for $30-40m within a MONTH. This takes more teams out of the running than would normally be down for $75-80m for a free agent or something that can be paid gradually over several years. This is reason #1 I don't see the Sox as realistic here.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Feb 5, 2015 -> 04:11 PM) Yeah seriously, Roger has worked in that industry for years. But I also haven't seen him on ST in years. If not, I have him as a facebook friend. Message me and I will get you his contact info. He is the man for this industry.

Maybe we need to combine two threads and just have beheadings for anyone who refuses to vaccinate their kids.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Feb 5, 2015 -> 03:12 PM) Your browser does not support iframes. Just want to post this because I saw it live (on TV) and it was awesome. Also, who is that bum that gave up the home run? The first game I went to in 2013 was won by a Dayan Viciedo walk off homer.

One of those guys is also making up for half of a season of a good Jeff Samardjiza as well.

QUOTE (flavum @ Feb 5, 2015 -> 01:19 PM) Victor Martinez f***ed up his knee. 4-6 weeks. Never know how that will linger.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Feb 4, 2015 -> 09:56 PM) So the one year wedding anniversary is in April and I'm trying to get out ahead of this thing. Did some internet research and it appears that there are two types of gifts for year 1...the traditional "paper" gift or the modern "clocks" gift. Did you guys follow these rules or did you just figure out your own gift? Figure out your own gift. That stuff is a waste of time.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Feb 4, 2015 -> 10:33 PM) David Kaplan @thekapman · 25m 25 minutes ago Cubs may be looking to add top flight starter to rotation. Sources confirm they are kicking tires on James Shields. http://bit.ly/1AutCKc Hopefully they give him five years.

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Feb 5, 2015 -> 08:27 AM) Self-imposed. Such bulls***. They have their worst team in years and aren't making the NCAA tourney anyways. Meanwhile, they have a really good recruiting class next year and will be hoping to compete. But this is apparently all a coincidence? Give me a break. Hopefully the NCAA tacks on an additional punishment or this is going to set a precedent that will be exploited. Program gonna get in trouble? Just drag it on for 8 years and when you are set up for a bad year just self impose a ban and move on. Much like appealing your suspension in baseball, and then dropping it at the most opportune time.

QUOTE (oldsox @ Feb 4, 2015 -> 07:45 PM) Are you telling me that the Sox are not on the hook for Viciedo's salary? Yes I am. They are on the hook for 15%. That is it.

QUOTE (oldsox @ Feb 4, 2015 -> 03:32 PM) How does Hahn explain to JR the $4MM++ price tag he put on Viciedo? It's like paying $6MM to Gordo. He doesn't. They paid a touch over $700k to release him.
