Jerry is pulling the strings.

Moreno doesn't give a fuck. He's going to go get Bumgarner/Ryu and Jon Gray. It must be nice to have an owner that lives on Earth instead of Uranus. That being said, I think Uranus is too close to earth. He might as well be floating around in interstellar space.

Good analogy.

On a single contract, yeah. Sox have gone to 120M in payroll before.

Man is he great at his job. The best in sports.

Bumgarner, Ozuna, Wood, Miley and that's all I have. Known Boras clients: Ryu Keuchel Castellanos Porcello? Idk anymore. I know he was when drafted.

Conspiracy theory says that's the point.

Love the thread title. How appropriate.

Betts is going to want to get $400M. Not as much as Trout, but close. My opinion is 400M is the magic # for Betts.

No. You go get Gerrit Cole instead. Yes, it costs more. Yes, it's more risky.

With as much as this board complains about defense...... Listen, of course Rendon makes this team better. It's just a dumb allocation of resources for the Sox.

My argument is that money would've been better spent on Cole or Strasburg, if they were even in that stratosphere.

Rendon never made sense. Why move a budding star who is a GG caliber 3B to spend a bunch of money to downgrade two positions defensively? It would be spending money just to say you did it.

Look at his comments through the lens of "this is a guy who is the best at what he does. He's just doing his job."

Yeah, they need a reliever too. Castellanos isn't happening. A lefty masher that is much cheaper will be in order.

They just suck all of the hope out of you. I'm seriously considering investing significantly less time into my favorite sports teams right now. I'm way too invested emotionally. Might need to take a step back.

Me neither. Porcello and Wood, call it a winter.

Another Kenny gets his guy special.

I think the answer that JR would give is "Over my dead body"

Lmao. That's ludicrous.

If I could get a minute with Hahn, I'd ask him the same question from last winter: "If not now, when?"

The more things play out, the more credible David Sampson becomes.

It's a "Kenny gets his guy" thing. They supposedly were all over him in the 2015 draft. He's probably not that good, but I think he's the best the Sawx have to give as a sweetener.

Ew. No. Benintendi+$26M+Price for Collins and Rutherford. I'd be fine with that.

Fuck. I wanted him.
