At least until his arm falls off. Again.

For the record, the Braves said that their original ballpark needed hundreds of millions (~$350m) in improvements to be viable for the team in the future, and short of that got the county and local authority to issue them hundreds of millions of bonds, of which they are going to pay back a fraction of them for the new stadium itself. They also got captured transportation taxes and millions of dollars from their specially formed taxing district. They started the surrounding projects later in phases after the stadium anchor was established. Sound familiar?

It's wild that with all of this we still don't REALLY know who the Bears are planning as their starting QB for 2024.

I mean at the end of the day, no matter what you think of the Sox, their scouting and development, and everything else, this is a guy who was wanted by the Yankees and the Padres. Even if you don't trust us, those are two organizations with decent reps.

Yet when something interesting actually happens, we still can't talk about it without it devolving.

For the record, if this kid really was down in velocity because of an injury, it wouldn't be the worst thing because at least that would be a fixable reason.

Do we really need to waste time on Bauer? The Sox haven't even shown interest.

It really looks like OT or D will be very prominent when the #9 picks rolls around. WR might still be left.

Probably not without some divine intervention

Makes a lot more sense now

Bears jumped the line on a potential cap cut. Nice

I am going to guess that has more to do with their home ballparks than their spending.

I send my deepest sympathies.

D. Too many Orioles fans.

So was Getz waiting to see whose market dropped late?

The longer this drags out, the more I wonder if they really are keeping Fields.

He was effectively an opener anyway. https://www.nbcsportschicago.com/mlb/chicago-white-sox/why-white-sox-are-sending-michael-kopech-to-the-bullpen/546978/?cid=sm_npd_rsn_chi_fb_mn&fbclid=IwAR0gR4TMjrfOx9ryy2TF5TlF2ZgxdEQ_uvep_HUMlNE0VPa21lpeJqkHIGQ

What the hell?

4.041 years of service

Run along now.

And yet after a month, here we are. That should tell us all something.

Oh he has the talent. I believe the phrase is million dollar arm, ten cent head.

And yet here we are. Reading between the lines and completely guessing? They have been telling Kopech what to do for years and he doesn't. This happened last year, and already in a months time under new eyes it happened again. There is more to this than we know. Knowing Kopechs history and mixing that in makes this add up pretty clearly.
