Conan just got a podcast recently. It's like 4 or 5 episodes deep, but it's good, I've always loved his sense of humor. Conan O'Brien Needs a Friend is the title.

That's what I'm screaming. There is no way the Sox did this without thinking it will have a pretty significant impact. Like you said, it's not like they haven't talked. I'm sure one side or the other brought up Alonso at some point and the White Sox got the deal done to show how serious they are about making Manny happy. But, as others have said, this may also mean the Sox are feeling less confident about Harper if they are willing to lose Alex Call and add a decent chunk of change and help out a rival.

Welp, hope you went against everything you said and went with Jackson and Williams. Jackson had a nice game for me. Mahomes did alright for me. Unfortunately the guy I played had Rivers and he got him like 9 points there in that final drive. But, I went from a projected 18 point loss to a projected 6 point loss, so I made up ground. I had dropped Damien Williams last week when the Chiefs signed West, so that sucks to see him on another team in the championship game, while I am fighting for 3rd place.

Which just means that they are serious contenders on both, which means they should have a great shot to get one of them. What's not to love about that?

To be fair, those are 2 of the most connected guys in the industry.

Lol, I'm still watching it, but at the 34 minute-ish mark, A-Rod puts his hand on Giolito and calls him "Michael". Lol Kopech gave Flaherty a weird look.

Not to entertain this dumb comparison, but I trust Machado having a higher WAR over the next 10 years than Harper. He has a certain defensive floor built in to his value. Harper's most recently has been very bad.

Ron wins #BanBet2018 !! Congrats!

Oh....right. ?

20?

Oh, I guess except for that. ? Didn't even see it

I don't see anything worth mentioning, so don't worry.

Me too. I would rather be given an exact date and time when an offer would be accepted. Honestly, as would everyone who works in a front office too.

That's it. The only guy the Sox lost in any phase is P Cristofer Melendez, who I personally liked, but he's a long ways away. The only guy the Sox TOOK in the Major League phase has already been traded to the Rangers. Sox took 1B Jordan George in the MiLB phase.

He's a guy who I brought up several times in the game thread as someone I was paying attention to because of his great starts he was having. https://www.baseball-reference.com/register/player.fcgi?id=melend002cri Definitely not on the AA team though, so no idea why it was announced that way.

White Sox pass in the 2nd RD. Rule 5 draft is over.

You're right. We took Carlos Tucci from the Phillies and flipped him to the Rangers.

Christopher Melendez gets taken from our AA roster.

White Sox select 1B Jordan George, PIT (AA)

No Sox players lost. And no one took Tyler Jay. On to the minor league phase.

White Sox pass on their 2nd RD. So they are keeping no one.

So I assume this means we are flipping Romano back to the Jays, isn't that usually how that works?
