But honestly, why wouldn't the Orioles take a vet back if it meant more prospects? They already have budgeted the money, and they are going to need all the help they can get.

If it wasn't so sad, that would be hysterical. His base will buy it, and have to reverse from defending what he said last night. He could have made himself look really good to all republicans if he really believed what he is saying now and was not fearful of Putin, which he clearly is.

The problem is, the assumption is gigantic. If they stay healthy, they will be fun to watch. They won't win a title, but they will play more than 82 games.

At this point, it doesn't make any sense for Machado not to become a free agent unless the Dodgers blow him out of the water with an offer.

I would think if another really good prospect was coming with a bad contract, the Orioles would just take it. I don't see a 3rd team being involved.

So in other words, even though it never happened and it's all fake, it's Obama''s fault.

Even Fox and Friends ripped Trump. Trump could have pulled a Reagan and told Putin on the stage to quit meddling in the elections. Putin won't stop of course, but Trump would have looked a lot better, but there is more to this, and it has to be the Trump Organization's money train. Trump isn't about America. He isn't about helping people, only himself. That is quite obvious from his history. He has stiffed many a working stiff. Caused several family businesses to go out of business by Mr. Money Bags not paying them. This was all predictable. The crazies have won. Hopefully it can be contained. If you vote republican or 3rd party with no chance of winning for a Senator or Congressmen inNovember, you are voting for Trump and his stupidity going unchecked.

This guy goes from future MVP to bust back to future MVP back to bust back to future MVP more than anyone.

Hillary Clinton Oct. 19,2016, can't say she didn't nail it. "You encouraged espionage against our people," she said. "You are willing to spout the Putin line, sign up for his wish list: break up NATO, do whatever he wants to do. "You continue to get help from him because he has a very clear favorite in this race."

Can you show me where I have called everyone a Nazi? If Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton had the same disaster as Trump had yesterday, your reaction would be quite different Mr. Independent. He has no problem slamming the leaders of Germany, of France, of the UK, of Canada, but he bows down to Putin, a guy who poisons his opponents, invades countries, shoots down commercial planes. And you're OK with it. I don't have to call you anything. You tell people what you are with your posts.

I know what you are. I am not sounding silly, you are. You were sympathetic to a Nazi who ran over a protester and insisted your Nazi website you visit was correct and she had a heart attack because she was overweight and it was hot. Now Trump sides with the KGB and you want to be friends with Russia.

Poisons opponents? Brings down passenger planes? Invades countries?

He being independent is the most laughable thing on this board. He backs Trump no matter what he does, and feels sorry for Nazis who run people over P

Yes I want to be at odds with a murderer dictator

How is Putin’s track record? You know, the guy you believe. BTW you mentioned 5 intelligence officials leaving, what about the 5 guilty pleas so far from the Trump campaign?

I don’t think there is a pee tape, but I do think it is all about money. I think Trump knows Putin could take down the Trump Organization in a day. Eric said they are financed with Russian mo ey. That dries up and/or some money laundering or the like gets exposed, Trumpis probably bankrupt again.

Trump will never be tough on Russia for one simple reason: Trump Organization was able to expand during the financial crisis because “We don’t rely on American banks. We have all the funding we need out of Russia.” Per Eric Trump

Trump tells CBS the EU is a foe of US.

So it looks like Gio just needs to get over the first sign of trouble, then he looks pretty good.

Bolton cancelled from a CNN appearance by the White Hiuse. Sarah Sanders says it’s in response for Acosta disrespecting Trump by asking him a question Trump refused to answer because he said CNN is fake news. It is all recorded. There should be outrage, however, this has become the norm so people just expect it. I guess that treating people with respect Sarah tweeted when she was refused service is more BS. Go figure. And what she said about the press when the newsroom was shot up, more BS.

I understand both sides. If you chose to tank , go all in and finish it off. That is reasonable, and sign 2 max guys. But then you can also look at the reality, and try to be realistic. There is going to be a lot of competition for max guys next season. There is no guarantee they could get one, let alone two, and if the past has anything to do with it, the one guy they get very well could be a guy you really don’t want to max anyways. They have gone the developmental route, which would be unique. At least in the NBA it seems very rare guys breakout into stars when they haven’t been stars the first 4 or 5 years in their careers. The Bulls want this to happen twice. I think they had to sign Lavine , but I read a great comp to him the other day. Reggie Theus. Fun to watch, especially when he was younger, but played no D, and ultimately wasn’t a winning player. Lavine might be a guy who ultimately gets 25 a night on a 25 win team. With Jabari, I think he gets a little more support because he is a local guy. Still very young, but 2 knee blowouts, has to be concerning. The Bulls leaking how they are going to get him in great shape and develop him is wishful thinking. You can try to say the Bucks aren’t good at development but they developed one of the top 3 or 4 players in the game. i hope it all goes right. I am very skeptical, but I was more skeptical about them bringing 2 max guys in. Jimmy coming back and bring Kyrie with hm? That wasn’t going to happen. And this probably won’t work either but at least if they are healthy enough to play, which again I kind of doubt, you should see some high scoring games. The bottom line is GarPax are not championship level executives. This is thei max. The odds that it will work are above zero, but maybe as Steve wrote, we should just be satisfied with an entertaining team, even if we know it isn’t capable of a title.

Frees up his hold immediately, and if the break up is inevitable they can say I dumped you. Not matching an offer sheet for a former #2 overall pick could look cheap especially considering the new arena they just built. and it probably is easier to work a sign and trade.

KC Johnson is confirming its close. He doesn’t know if the Bucks will renounce him or the Bulls will have to sign him to an offer sheet. The plan is to play him at SF. I would hate to be the guy in charge of the defense.

I've mentioned 34 previously. His asking the Russians to get into Hillary's emails was televised.

Then they wouldn't have to fake injuries to tank.
