Jon Heyman ‏@JonHeymanCBS 25m25 minutes ago icymi: owners expected today to approve 5-year contract for rob manfred to be commissioner. http://cbsprt.co/1p1PsA0

Nick Cafardo ‏@nickcafardo 10m10 minutes ago Whitman, MA According to a mAjor league source the Red Sox offer to Jon Lester falls into $110-$120 range over six years.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Nov 19, 2014 -> 01:35 PM) AA is a pretty good GM. He got a nice season out of Navarro for $3 million and now will deal him when he costs $5 million and his performance most likely will drop. I don't know if I want anyone named Navarro on the White Sox anymore. Jaime was enough for me too.

We already have Sergio Santos. His name is Dan Webb.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Nov 19, 2014 -> 02:06 PM) Ben Badler's latest doesn't even mention the White Sox as 8 most likely to sign Moncada: http://www.baseballamerica.com/internation...avorites-watch/ They don't hit his check lists. Personally I think the cap will keep the Sox from bidding.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Nov 19, 2014 -> 02:10 PM) I use this screen name on a few different message boards and just had somebody ask me if I'm from Nebraska. I always think of the HS basketball message board by the same name.

ESPN Stats & Info ‏@ESPNStatsInfo 11m11 minutes ago LeBron’s average of 39.1 minutes/game would be his highest since 2007-08; Kyrie Irving’s 38.4 minutes/game would be highest of his career

Sam Smith ‏@SamSmithHoops 23m23 minutes ago Rose now practicing. Pau not practicing. Thibodeau labels both "50-50" to play against Kings Thursday. "Questionable," says Thibs.

This one, assuming he pitches well while in the minors. Start in minors with a call-up once his Super-2 passes

Bob Nightengale ‏@BNightengale 2m2 minutes ago Billy Beane says he plans on Jeff Samardzija being ace of #Athletics staff next year

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Nov 19, 2014 -> 12:18 PM) I agree with this. I'm pretty sure he'll be starting for the White Sox at some point in June though for sure. Rodon pitching out of the bullpen is a terrible idea. Yeah, I have full expectations that he will be in Chicago very quickly.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Nov 19, 2014 -> 12:08 PM) If a fast food restaurant - say Crazy George's - was willing to pay people $30 an hour to put out the best fast food in the area while taking home microscopic profit margins, while the rest of the fast food restaurants - say "Tampa Tacos" - gave the typical $10 an hour to take home bigger profits while putting out a lesser quality product, I doubt people would say "those people are Crazy George's are way overpaid." Economic theory says no one is ever overpaid and that people will only ever be underpaid. Someone/Something may be paid/may cost more than you were willing to spend, but someone out there is willing to spend that amount for that service/product at that price, and thus it is valued properly. The problem never lies in that. The problem lies in our inability to properly determine the depreciation of that service over time. A lot of times these services depreciate way faster than we realize they will, even after time and time again we see it do the same thing, partly because we've seen it work previously (both the service and extending the life of the service) and because the known is better than the unknown until it's not or the unknown becomes known. We hear that other people are overpaid all of the time. It isn't just a sports thing. CEO's, actors, musicians, etc.

If it were up to me, he would start at Birmingham and go from there.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Nov 19, 2014 -> 12:02 PM) they are going to leave a trail of reeses pieces that leads outside the players exit at the park. When he steps out to get the last one, *SLAM* DFA If they do that, then they paid him too much for 2015 already.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Nov 19, 2014 -> 11:31 AM) Oh yeah, duh. Nevermind, haha. So they both will end up 38, or maybe don't drop Wilkins off the 40. Personally I don't see Wilkins going anywhere, and have no doubt that Belisario will be DFA'd, non-tendered, or released.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Nov 19, 2014 -> 11:27 AM) 40 man currently at 37 with the addition of Duke. Guys who I think will get outrighted/DFA'd off the 40 man: LGarcia, Wilkins Guys who I would outright/DFA: Belisario, LGarcia, Wilkins, Mitchell Guys who I think they will protect: Montas, Thompson, Bassitt, Ravelo (gets to 39) Guys I'd protect: Montas, Thompson, Smith, Bassitt, Ravelo, Rondon (gets to 39) We'll see how grossly off I am. Bassitt was also called up in Sept, so he is already on the 40.

Nina Falcone ‏@NinaFalcone 5m5 minutes ago #Blackhawks lines this morning: 20-19-81, 23-91-88, 29-65-13, 42-16-28

QUOTE (oldsox @ Nov 19, 2014 -> 11:04 AM) Then there are Wilkins and Kev Smith. They will prob both be on the 40 man tomorrow. Smith is a tough decision, tho. Wilkins is already on the 40. He was called up in Sept.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Nov 19, 2014 -> 10:52 AM) You win. Left patella fracture, out 3-4 months. Damn, that really sucks for TVR. Hopefully it heals up OK.

Ken Rosenthal ‏@Ken_Rosenthal 6m6 minutes ago Reported earlier that Sandoval’s side will speak by phone with #SFGiants today. No offer from #RedSox yet; Sandoval awaiting BOS proposal.

QUOTE (StRoostifer @ Nov 19, 2014 -> 10:35 AM) Mynsentiments exactly. The only thing I can say that I have not said yet is if Alexei is traded, I'm going to have fun reading all the posts of people b****ing, whining and complaining about how Alexei was worth more and blah blah blah. I've said all I have to say without repeating myself which I'm done doing. We will see what happens... I am not a big fan of the idea that you have to move someone for "value's" sake. Many times a players best value to the team is playing on the team, and I feel that numbers don't do Alexei justice. I would be thrilled to keep him for the next two years, and unless the offer blows me away, would have no problem doing so, even if he falls off in hindsight.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Nov 19, 2014 -> 10:29 AM) Francisco Montas is going to be a top 5 prospect in the White Sox system and there are going to be some publications who list him as a top 100 prospect in the game. If you don't think someone would stash him in the bullpen for a year (or outright convert him to a reliever) to have a chance at that arm, you are mistaken. Rondon is also talented enough that there's no reason to risk losing him. There isn't any doubt in my mind that Montas could pitch in the Sox bullpen today. With that in mind, there is zero chance he is left off of the 40 man roster, if it means he gets exposed to the Rule 5.

Seeing the year mentioned, makes it look even crazier. MLBRosterMoves ‏@MLBRosterMoves 11m11 minutes ago The @Marlins sign OF @Giancarlo818 to a 13-year contract, through the 2027 season, with a club option for 2028.
