Then I'd pass.

The more I think about it, the more I'd be glad to do a deal around Kopech and Madrigal. That's where I'm at, and that's as high as it goes.
-
Depending on if Conforto signs an extension I'd be fine with another stopgap in RF and go after Conforto hard next winter. BTW, there is no way in hell I'm trading both Kopech and Crochet to the Rays. None. The reason I'd trade Kopech at all is because he's missed 2 straight seasons and is 25 already, and won't be ready for a full season until 2022, which may or may not happen at all.

I wouldn't even trade two blue chippers for him. I'd trade one. Either Vaughn or Kopech. If I'm the Sox, the guy I part with is Kopech.

I know, but the lack of LH batters in the lineup is beyond ridiculous. They need more balance.
-
I'd give him up to avoid having to part with Vaughn If I'm trading Vaughn, the second piece is Cease and they don't get Dunning either.
-
It really should be as they have exactly zero regulars that bat Lefty. They have two that bat switch.
-
It's too early to know, but either way he's too valuable to the Sox, whether as a TOR starter or a closer. So let's say you're starting the deal with Kopech. Who do you add???
-
Like I said, let the Mets have Springer and try to acquire Conforto or Nimmo from them. If they sign Springer, it would be likely that they're planning to let Conforto walk. If that's the case, see if you can acquire him and extend him. Conforto is a much better long-term fit for the Sox than Springer is.

Again, won't happen.
-
I'm fine trading one of Kopech or Vaughn, but Crochet is off limits imo.
-
This is the answer, but it's not going to happen. Bauer is going to get a deal similar to Sale's. Jerry won't go there.
-
I'm not trading both Kopech and Vaughn. They get one. I'm fine trading either, but not both. Vaughn and Cease=ok. Kopech and Madrigal=ok Vaughn and Kopech=not ok. Not trading Crochet. He's 21, left handed and reminds me too much of a young Chris Sale.
-
Hard pass on trading both Kopech and Crochet.

Let the Mets have Springer, and trade for either Nimmo or Conforto instead.
-
Vaughn, Cease, Dunning Or Kopech, Madrigal, Dunning Or either of the above packages with Dunning replaced with Thompson+ a lotto ticket
-
If they could get the deal done for Cease, Madrigal and Dunning I'd jump for joy. It's going to cost similar to Sale to get this done. Maybe they could get it done without giving up Kopech or Vaughn by giving up a 3rd piece like Dunning and another high-end prospect.
-
Snell is one guy I'd be ok trading Kopech or Vaughn for. He's a legit ace. Something like Kopech or Vaughn +Madrigal or Dunning and I think that gets it done. I would not want to trade Crochet. Anyone else not in the Majors is available.

How drunk will TLR get this holiday season?

Guys, I've been out of the loop in the NBA for a while. I only casually pay attention to the Bulls these days. Besides players like LeBron, Curry, Giannis, AD, and older stars like Westbrook and Paul, I don't know who is really good around the league right now. I think Lillard, Butler and Jokic are good, and I know Doncic looks studly, but can you guys tell me who the other top players are these days? Also thought Porzingis was pretty good but idk what tier he's in.
-
Trading top prospects for a rental is a recipe for disaster. I'd rather go after Darvish or someone with more control.
-
Given that he only threw 20-30 innings last year, I think they should use him in the MLB bullpen in a multi-inning weapon role for 70-100 innings. His stuff and command is good enough to go on the Chris Sale plan of all development at the MLB level. He could be slotted into the MLB rotation in 2022 should a CBA get done.

QFT. Nobody in their right mind would be a White Sox fan.

That was one of the things that was initially in the ACA, Medicaid expansion. That got gutted by the GOP and the SCOTUS. It sucks right now because sometimes you have to go a ridiculous distance if you're not in an urban area to find someone that will take it. I'm of the opinion that for-profit healthcare is bad because it leads to management of chronic conditions rather than solving them, because it is more profitable. Also, drug companies extort patients who need their medication to function or survive, like those with mental illness or something like HIV. They force them to pay exorbitant prices for their medication and they have no choice but to do it. Anyway, I'm sick and tired of discussing policy.

Medicaid is a program that is only for people on SSI or have an income below the poverty line. Many primary care providers and specialists do not accept it because it is run by the states and their payments are delayed. Insurance companies pay providers relatively quickly, while medicaid takes months to pay out. For example, if you work in a manufacturing facility making $10/hr and working 50 hrs/week you don't qualify, because you make too much money.
