I really hope that's true. I don't know if the Rickett's give a crap about the luxury tax or not.

I still think the Cubs are the biggest threat. If they're somehow able to shed salary at the Winter Meetings I think they'll be able to get him.

Harper will sign eventually.

Source?

Grandal

Trade him and offer Harper an extra $16 mil?

Cardinals sorely needed a bat so good for them.

I don't expect them to have a swing like the Twins did a few seasons ago but I definitely expect them to much better than last year. If the FO is aggressively pursuing and lands a few of these guys (i.e. Grandal, Brantley/Pollock, Happ) and improvements and arrivals from the core, you would hope they would be. Harper and Machado are very exciting to think about but realistically the Yankees and Phillies have deep pockets and I don't see a reason for either to want to come here unless for some reason they really like Chicago.

With the Phillies clearing even more space after trading Santana I don't think theres a chance we can be a top bidder for either guy. The Phillies have just as much to spend now.

The other deal that guy mentioned.

Seby was uh not good in his limited time in Charlotte.

I don't think they plan on losing this year.

I 100% forgot Wellington Castillo was on the team.

No way, Seby is not ready. They have to be going after Grandal.

Sox must have told him to?

Reports are that even with this they are still going to move him.

Means absolutely nothing but the new White Sox hitting instructor just broke down Harper's swing on Twitter.

If they really want t go balls to the wall in FA like its been rumored they're going to non-tender Avi. Davidson I could see either way. They definitely will keep Leury.

If this happens you can probably forget about the Mets trading Syndergaard.

Wow they're really going to sell.

People are on board with moving on because he's oft injured, is awful defensively and his 2017 performance was heavily inflated by his extraordinarily high BABIP.

I don't think Nightengale knows jack about any team's plans.
