Bob Nightengale ‏@BNightengale 2m2 minutes ago Brian Cashman stays with #Yankees, signing 3-year contract.

This is also interesting. The Dodgers are looking to dump about $50 million in payroll this year. Mike Petriello ‏@mike_petriello Yes, I heard a report that LAD payroll would be ~$190m next year. No, it doesn't seem remotely possible. They're at that now, before arb.

The Dodgers could target the Rays GM, if they decide to fire Coletti. http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/2014/10/...m-ned-colletti/

It is possible they could have screwed up your security settings, but usually that strips links out of emails, instead of turning them into spam.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Oct 10, 2014 -> 10:50 AM) I actually think Ethier makes a ton of sense for the White Sox. Hamilton less so, but the possibility exists if LA is willing to eat about 60 million. If you move Danks, that eats up about half of that. Hamilton has something like $80-85 million left on the deal, depending on which accounting method you want to use for his bonuses that he could make. The same applies to any other bad for bad type of deal.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Oct 10, 2014 -> 10:51 AM) I think Eaton would probably get $12-15 mill a year in free agency. He's a similar player to Ellsbury but probably not overall as talented. Yeah, that is kind of how I feel. Guys like Carl Crawford (in his big years) and Ellsbury are probably not attainable levels for Eaton. I don't think he has that kind of pop or speed.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Oct 10, 2014 -> 10:29 AM) Noesi I agree with. I think they're going to look to move Danks and will eat money (and perhaps a substantial amount) in order to do so. I still believe the bad contract for bad contract thing is more likely. I really feel like we will see someone like Josh Hamilton, Andre Either, etc here on the south side next year.

Nice to see the come from behind win. Crawford really had a great night to keep the team in it until they woke up in the 3rd.

And now Angelo is backtracking... http://www.suntimes.com/sports/30358515-41...ml#.VDf0ZeewEXw

If other people are able to send links, and you are not, either Steve, his firm, or his mail server got blacklisted when including links. You might see if another person who has the same email exchange as you do can send emails with the link. That will narrow down if it is Steve's specific email, or if it is one of the firm exchange or server.

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Oct 9, 2014 -> 02:01 PM) Seems like another money grab. Why on earth do you need a certificate when you're employer should be training you on it since their asses are on the line. Probably another answer to IL's cash problems.

Masterson still has my interest as a potential turn around guy. I'd love to see a front office discussion that involves his medicals and Don Cooper on his mechanics.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Oct 10, 2014 -> 09:36 AM) Is this really news though? I mean, isn't this what we already knew? We knew there were hundreds of incidences of this, and we knew they weren't getting suspended for it...so he's just verbalizing what the numbers would show was happening. It is news because he has been the only member of management I have seen from the NFL who has been honest about what happened in the past. Everyone else is either pretending it didn't happen, or that NOW THEY ARE GOING TO BE TOUGH!

The Sox are doing the right thing putting the kid in the starting rotation and getting him as many innings as possible. A lot what I see in the report there is stuff that could be fixed with as many repetitions as possible, and some good coaching to get those mechanical fixes to stick.

I will at least say good for Angelo for coming clean. That being said, he will never work in professional football again after what he just said.

This is just an excellent job by Mike.

Count me in the "No big hurry" crowd. I think even if Eaton makes his ceiling, he isn't even going to be a $20 million annually guy, so the risk isn't nearly as huge as it could be when compared to a guy like Garcia who has legit 5 tool potential.

QUOTE (LDF @ Oct 9, 2014 -> 06:47 AM) I was somewhat disappointed with the 2014 draft, except for the first 2 rounds. that was until someone posted about saving money so the sox can sign Rodon. the sox may have drafted players that may fill out the roster and help with numbers in the system but still they need good prospects. barring any FA's signing or not using that as an excuse, next draft, the sox need hitters. If the White Sox come any where close to seeing the ceilings of Rodon and Adams, this years draft was a win.

Ask Barrack Obama how one guys time with his wife in a sex club made him a senator and put him on the road to the White House.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Oct 9, 2014 -> 09:16 PM) So, I haven't seen anyone else post this but may have missed it, this isn't this officer's first excessive force case, he's had 3 settled out of court before. So much for McDermotts chance at Governor. Mike Pence is smiling his ass off right now.

QUOTE (Jerksticks @ Oct 9, 2014 -> 04:13 AM) What if the Sox FO feels Rodon can slide into Q's spot and the team not miss a beat? That's how we could get a superstar hitter and still contend. Rodon could be that good in their eyes. They don't.
