Also worth noting that while the Sox are putting out 40m total for this signing, I bet a sizable chunk of this comes back to them in the form of Japanese ad sales. Wouldn't be surprised at all see Japanese ads in the park for opening day, plus some specialty media deals.

Good call.

I would imagine they still get a drat pick tied offer then, right?

Same. Dudes market COLLAPSED. But the good news is this is the type of lottery ticket that could pay huge. If he turns out near his ceiling, even if the Sox still suck, he could bring a haul.

You jack up his price at the very least, assuming they aren't paying for this dude by dumping Robert.

2 years and then free agency? Solid contract to the kid too. Smart.

Wow, this is great! Glad to see Ish paying dividends.

Dude was at D2 Grand Valley State in Michigan before that. Know someone who played with him.

DJ in the cheese grater yall.

0 touchdowns in 5 red zone trips for GB

It's almost like playing guys while hurt has consequences.

That's why Caleb Williams

Gainbridge and Lucas Oil were very publicly funded. Indiana throws money at businesses, not public infrastructure.

I would hope this would quiet the ND fans, but we all know better.

In the 2nd or 3rd rounds? Sounds like exactly where he is projected.

Drop his K rate and he hits the powerball.

It almost has to be Thome, doesn't it?

If the offers are bad enough that the Sox are in, why wouldn't he just go back to Japan and try again next year?

Jerry selling the team to Ishbia to pay off operations debt seems pretty obvious to me.

It's like the ghost of Rick Hahn made that statement saying everything, and nothing, all at the same time.

Because Trade WInds is a Trade Deadline forum. We don't use it during the winter.

It is wild to see the Pirates out there involved in everything. Meanwhile in Chicago it looks like Charlie Brown trick or treating.

Hey Chris Getz finally listened to me!

Too bad they weren't willing to do this a couple of years ago, it might have kept their window open.
