Sorry, you've been beaten to that pun, twice already. 0 laughing emojis awarded.

Yeah, I couldn't really decipher that either. No idea how people took it as meaning he would sign within the week, but seems they stumbled correctly in to that?

How are this many people having trouble differentiating between whoever Chuck Naso is, and the Red Line Radio guys? They just tweeted out his info, they didn't start the rumor. Maybe it's their fault for believing another guy who works at BarStool, Chuck Naso, but let's not pretend like they made this up themselves. Chuck Naso is the enemy here.

Yup.

Maybe it's Kelvin Herrera. Lol, at least we know he is or was in the city.

RLR tweeting out Chuck's info makes it more plausible to me, but still super skeptical.

Those were 2 separate ideas. The Yankees getting Tulo as well as spending money elsewhere have helped the Sox chances, IMO.

No chance no one would have noticed by now. NBC camera crew would be all over it by now.

The Yankees signing Tulo and Britton really moved the needle in my mind. They keep spending their money elsewhere.

Yup, I've been saying as much. Sox under the least amount of pressure to improve for 2019. They can sit and wait.

Correct doesn't make sense to move his very team friendly contract to save money.

The dude has a disgusting slider and sinking FB, both of which can be seen in the clip above.

Not only is Lindgren's nickname "The Strikeout Factory", but I enjoyed this little blurb about how the Braves acquired him after his METEORIC rise through the Yankees system.... "He had Tommy John surgery in August 2016 and the Braves lured him away from the Yankees with a major-league contract offer just before the 2016 Winter Meetings, right after the Yankees made him a non-tendered free agent with the intention of re-signing Lindgren to a minor league deal. The move by former Braves general manager John Coppolella incensed Yankees officials, including general manager Brian Cashman. The Braves agreed to pay him about $1 million in 2017, including a small signing bonus." He's somehow only pitched in 54 minor league innings across all 5 levels of the minor leagues, but has a 14.2 K/9. The downside to that is his 5.3 BB/9. Only 28 H and 0 HR though. He seems to be a guy that no one wants to swing at, so they either take their walks, or they take their strikeout. Could obviously be deadly if we can fix his control. Not sure if he will still bring the mid-90s velo, but I imagine he should be in AA or AAA for us by the summer.

If the Bears win tomorrow, I'll take you up on that wager.

Cowboys baby!!!! I was hoping the Bears would lose tomorrow, so I don't have to hear it on the radio 24/7, but if the Bears win, then I still have a chance at Rams vs Cowboys for the NFC title and a promise of one of my teams in the Super Bowl. So.....go Bears, I suppose.

I want real, actual penalities for Luxury tax. Make it if you go over, you lose your 4th RD pick. And then if you go $10M over you also lose your 3rd RD pick. Next $10M you also lose your 2nd RD, and then next $10M you lose your 1st RD pick. So for any team that goes $30M over, you've now lost your first 4 picks. Any dollar after that has a 50% tax.

With the Yankees signing Britton to 3 years, I am hoping that gives them even less money to offer Manny. I'm taking this as good news for us.

You're my hero. ??

Good God, does anyone know how to ignore members on mobile? I'll run to the nearest Kinko's and pay $1.99 a minute if I have to.

Should have signed to a no-cut clause. Damnit, Tulo.

Yeah that's a good point, I could just put him on ignore.

No, but these threads won't be as long.

If we all just stop engaging Peavy44 and replying to his nonsense, we can probably reduce the length of these threads by like 30% or so.

...and that's what you've decided to get out of that post..... ?
