Silly Trump. You don't spend personal money on shushing your mistresses, that's what the Congressional Hush Fund is for. Rookie politician move.

You don't feel the players care about money. When he hits free agency, he is gonna take the biggest deal. It's his one and only chance to sign a massive deal. If the Cubs offer him more than any other team, he will not pass them up because of the service team issue that happened 7 years ago.

Opt outs have definitely mixed things up, Heyward is the perfect example. All the talk was how he took less guaranteed money with the Cubs vs. Cardinlas, yet had he not forgotten how to hit, he would have been able.to sign another massive FA deal and made way more than the Cardinals offer

Years and years of professional sports free agency have taught me differently, every single dollar counts even when talking hundreds of millions.

And what are the repercussions of pissing him off? Pretty much none. Maybe he won't re sign 7 years from now, but if he's as good as we hope, then he probably wouldn't anyway, yet provided 6 years of dominance for the Sox. He cant hold out or stop playing. Unless he hits .500 at AAA, its justified to wait. The Cubs did the same with Bryant, they filed a grievance, it disappeared like a fart in the wind. ( Shawshank) It sucks for the players that's what the rules are, but that's another discussion.

Morrow back to the DL. Maybe it's not a good idea to sign relievers after they get pitched.to the.point of no return the previous October

A lot of numbers usually get leaked out so we will see. But I guarantee you Machado would have plenty of interest in a rebuilding team if they are the highest bidder.

Allen and Miller are free agents after this season too, while Hand is signed through 2021 potentially.

400+ yard drives, going over the green with their tee shot on par 4s. Kinda ridiculous.

Classic rock wasn't as openly offensive but let's not act like it was "clean". They may have been more subtle with their words, but they could be very offensive towards women, specifically those that were underage.

Except the reason the Sox don't have much of a chance is because they won't offer the most money, so the JR is cheap posters will have an argument.

At the same time, we have a completely different understanding of social media now than in 2011. 17 year old Hader in 2018 may not have tweeted that, not because he was a nicer person, he just would be more aware of long term repercussions. In the end, it sounds like his teammates are all defending him and supporting him, so hopefully he's a good guy and that was just a bout of young ignorance and not a sign of who he truly is or what he truly thinks. I know he's not on the level of a Josh Allen in football, but the agents are doing a piss poor job here. When they get hired a player, the first thing they should do is vet and scrub his entire social media platform. Not that every player has stuff as bad this, but there's usually something that can look bad when a player gets put in the public eye, and you know people will find it eventually.

That was actually very entertaining . Happened to be at a bar with a buddy, didn't have to hear the sound or Chris Berman, it was fun to watch. What did Harpers dad do in his previous life? He had the arms of a Redskin lineman.

It's not just baseball fans, it's all sports. This 4-day stretch right now is the worst time of the entire calendar year.

See the post above this one. Now that's a bad take. My thoughts about him remain the same.

Holy shit Brewers

Brutal. And he was exactly one day younger than me which bothers me even more. RIP

Well Moncada showed us, lol.

Poor Croatia. They've been the better team yet are down 3-1

Especially because its the all star break. Give him a full week off. It's not going to hurt his development Seems awfully aggressive and unnecessary.

Matheny might go down as the worst manager in the history of the sport.

It took the TV guys an awfully long time to stop calling it knee on knee contact, it was pretty obvious that the ball had hit his knee, but they kept saying knee on knee.

That was premature. Today the Cubs clinched the division
