QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ May 20, 2017 -> 01:08 PM) Fixed it for you Trade Beer and Garcia's position but other than that... it's a pie in the sky dream. Even if you replace Machado for Donaldson, A+. Kopech, Giolito, Fulmer, Lopez, Dunning, Stephens, Hansen, Burdi, and more from trades. Also cheap roster so you've got the ability to sign a FA frontline SP vet.

Interesting... SS - Anderson 2B - Moncada C - Collins DH - Abreu CF - Robert 1B - ? / A. Garcia 3B - ? LF - ? RF - Adolfo

QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ May 20, 2017 -> 12:57 PM) Exactly. Completely different situations. There's obviously two ways of looking at it. You and 2014 are right... my line of thinking is right. Subjectivity is objective here. Just be fixed in your perspective, move along, and make party.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ May 20, 2017 -> 12:54 PM) Sale deal has nothing to do with this deal. Sox weren't sent money. The tax and bonus owed to Moncada was on Red Sox. White Sox wouldn't have to pay remainder of bonus anyway. That's not really agreed to. That's Red Sox obligation. Yea, I disagree. We cleared almost the exact amount of salary from Sale that we paid Robert and we got Moncada for 0 cash expense. The Sale deal had a lot to do with this.

QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ May 20, 2017 -> 12:46 PM) Right. Most of the bonus money was already paid. The penalties / taxes are the Red Sox responsibility. I don't think they literally send the Sox that money. I think it remains their responsibility. They probably did send the Sox the money that was still owed to Moncada out of his bonus, however much that was. Ok... so... Moncada cost for White Sox = 0 Sale contract off books for White Sox = -38m Kopech cost for White Sox = -1.5m Robert cost for White Sox = ~45m Sale + 6.5m = Moncada ( 0 ), Robert ( 0 ), Kopech, Basabe, Diaz All I'm saying is that the Sale deal positioned us for this and it should be accounted for when evaluating the deal in the next few years.

It's real folks. Chris Sale = Yoan Moncada, Luis Robert, Michael Kopech, Luis Alexander Basebe, Victor Diaz That's huge.

QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ May 20, 2017 -> 12:41 PM) Not really Yes, really.

QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ May 20, 2017 -> 12:39 PM) Not exactly Yea... the Red Sox paid all of the luxury tax and all of Moncadas 31.5m contract and took on all of Sale's money. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2016/12/red-...chris-sale.html

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ May 20, 2017 -> 12:36 PM) That doesn't seem right. They're just the remainder of the tax/bonus (something like ten mill) is what I thought. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2016/12/red-...chris-sale.html

Effectively... Chris Sale = Yoan Moncada, Luis Robert, Michael Kopech, Luis Alexander Basebe, Victor Diaz

QUOTE (bucket-of-suck @ May 20, 2017 -> 12:34 PM) Luis Robert Moirant. That just plain mind f***s me.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ May 20, 2017 -> 12:31 PM) And just like that you feel a whole lot better about the system's position talent, still not deep by any means but damn this is huge. Deals for Q, Robertson, + will sure add more confidence and filler by 2018. Draft strong again next month... tank this year for a high draft slot next year... Gotta love it.

QUOTE (Joshua Strong @ May 20, 2017 -> 12:30 PM) Can someone refresh me on the Moncada money from the Red Sox? They sent 31.5 million to us in the Sale deal.

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ May 20, 2017 -> 12:24 PM) Ain't happening. Just pop the top on a cool one and ride the wave! But a 10k/mo retainer client is on the line if I don't get my ass in gear. My Luis Robert obsession is a serious problem. Do they have a Luis Robert Anonymous program?

QUOTE (StrykerSox @ May 20, 2017 -> 12:19 PM) Also, ignorant question, but how does this work? $25 mill is the bonus? And he'll just come up with six years of control like everyone else? Why was it different for Abreu? 25m = 7 years of control Abreu, since he was older... 68m = 6 year deal with option to opt out That's my understanding at least

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ May 20, 2017 -> 12:18 PM) How high does he enter our prospect rankings? #2? How much are we paying in penalties? #2 or #3 25 - 30m in penalties and banned for 2 years from more than 300k signings

So how does one now transition out of Luis Robert obsession mode and get some work done today?

Didn't know that

QUOTE (Joshua Strong @ May 20, 2017 -> 11:53 AM) I am not putting too much stock in the hat. Latin players always work out in MLB gear, not always the team they sign with. Maybe he just likes that picture? The timing is too conspicuous to be just happenstance

QUOTE (iamshack @ May 20, 2017 -> 11:47 AM) I'm hearing $28 million, to the Sox. From fake tweets?

QUOTE (flavum @ May 20, 2017 -> 11:22 AM) Bad day for fake twitter. Speaking for myself, I'm ashamed for refreshing this as much as I have. You're not the only one... full on obsession mode. Obsession: a thought that crowds out all others.

QUOTE (reiks12 @ May 20, 2017 -> 10:42 AM) You were looking at his privates last night? No stone will be unturned.

QUOTE (bmags @ May 20, 2017 -> 10:38 AM) His account was private before. Then how'd I look at all his private s*** last night?

All Robert and no White Sox makes hi8is a dull boy.
