I would be on the phone with Texas about Kimbrel, they seem to be loosening the purse strings

yeah we got Graveman ?????

that Robbie Ray deal stings

what kind of deal do you think he will get?

dairy or non?

"Hey Scott, it's Rick Hahn. Wanted to talk to you about Semien." "Hey Rick, how's it going. How's the family?" "For fucks sake, Scott. Why are you so god damned unreasonable?" *click*

I can't be the only person worried about his arm posing a potential injury concern, especially coming off a post season where they were putting him out there more frequently than usual (fewer innings but it's still a change of pace that could affect him in 2022) unless they got him for a friendly deal, I would pass on scherzer. they should've went after him years ago

I see Kimbrel going to an NL team personally

is Zack Collins the 2022 backup?

Sox should've used Kimbrel to close a few games (did they? I don't recall that), to maybe help validate that he's still effective as a closer

TA will get locked up, Giolito is gone tho imo

there was a run of maybe 4? outings where he looked terrible and I was about to write him off, but it was just a few bad outings, idk if I've seen a more dominant Sox closer, Jenks wasn't even this good

Sox are definitely waiting until the CBA is finalized, nobody should be surprised by that

I expect Keuchel to bounce back pretty well next year, and the Sox will lose their ass if they try and dump him for a bag of balls. I don't think anyone in their right mind thinks Keuchel is 'done', do they? If they do try trading him, they're gonna have to pick up a chunk of that salary regardless unless it's swapping contracts I roll the dice with him locked in at 5

get that draft pick

nobody should be surprised by this

Houston is going to curbstomp whoever they're facing in the WS, Doubt it goes 6 games tbh

straight up garbage coaching staff, these guys don't listen to them at all lmao

I would have a lot more respect for Hahn if he told JR "GFY" and went elsewhere

also, his swing reminds me of TCQ a bit

sign me up also, has Japan always had outdoor stadiums? I always remember japanese baseball being played indoors for some reason, but after looking up some videos of this guy I found a ton of games played outside

Semien just because Scherzer has pitched a lot of innings this year and he's getting older

Funny how the 5 game series (which ended in 4 games) went nearly identical to the regular season series vs the same opponent organizationally, the Sox aren't even in the same league as teams like Houston/TB, and even Boston/NYY, and they never will be because nepotism reigns in Chicago. the one team that cleaned house from top to bottom won the most recent championship, that wasn't a fluke

you're conflating what I want with what will happen
