Hahaha, I just meant not sure if the Greek chef is getting his intel from the same dude that is the source of mine. The guy giving this intel is aware of Soxtalk, and I was personally asked not to share this stuff like 2-3 months ago via my good buddy, who is the middle man sharing the intel of said source with me.

Couldn't agree more, it's not Judge's fault and nothing against him, seems like a helluva dude, he deserves better than to have this crap connected to him. Funny you mention the FOD game, I didn't realize how much I hated the on screen zone until they didn't have it up for that game, less distracting to the eye, give me the K zone after the fact, but during live play it's super distracting to me and takes my attention away from the hitter and pitcher. One thing that Hawk said has always stuck with me, watch the player not the ball, really hard for me to do that with the zone on screen.

Hearing the waiting on the big SS names to land to test the TA market theory is legit, editing to say this source has been accurate before, but it is thru a guy I've never met so, grain of salt as always.

does Adam Duvall have anything left in the tank?

Unless they're the same source, I'm hearing independent confirmation on the same stuff Greek Paul is alluding to the last couple days.

This stuff is all so annoying. Don't want to speak for anybody else, but I feel like stats are part of what makes baseball great and interesting. It just seems to be a perpetual cycle in the MLB that guys are not on even or fair playing fields, which makes the numbers a whole heck of a lot less useful or meaningful, frustrating at best.

Curious if the Padres are in on that too, they wanted Turner and clearly want to upgrade SS defense and move Tatis to the OF and protect his shoulder. Correa fixes that immediately.

Elvis Andrus?

Answers my Busch query, thank you.

Any idea if Busch can actually play 2B, or is he more a 1B type in the long run?

I've actually heard similar rumblings for a few months now that some big names will be moved, was asked by my friend with the contact to not mention anything here, but seems like the cat is outta the bag now.

I believe him yo, I dunno why, but I do...

Hahaha my bad, missed that one yesterday.

Only player on their roster with a non-arb contract.

Well it certainly felt like way more balls than normal died on the warning track for the 2022 Chicago White Sox, maybe Jay Cuda can run some numbers on that.

I can't wait to have a seat at the 2024 Machado table.

Anyone else watch this and get the sense that there’s a big rift in the clubhouse that Hahn is attempting to resolve by trading the assholes? It’s honestly fascinating to watch how dysfunctional this org is and how badly they botched this “rebuild.”

Just seems to be a lot of speculation that something big is happening from a ton of accounts I follow, they're probably all foodie burner accounts to be honest.

ahh missed it, my bad

I saw this tweet from what I believe is an account run by Ozzie and his kids, not entirely sure there, but there does seem to be a lot of trade speculation on WS Twitter the last couple days FWIW.

Pretty sure I made a post here not long ago about Manfred ensuring juiced balls made their way into Yankees games for Judge HR chase ratings.

Yeah, woulda been nice to jump the market on that one. Can't wait til Jurickson Profar gets 5-$100

Is this the Conforto market setter? I was very against a multi year Conforto deal last year, but anything under $20M for 1 year right now makes too much sense for the Sox to pass up, which of course means it won't happen.

Yeah, this is what the site is taking in to account, not a perfect tool by any means, but a free and accessible one.

I actually thought "Outman" was just a nickname for Joey Gallo until like 3 weeks ago.
