They’ll very likely go underslot in the first round because everyone likely will in the 1-4 spots too. It’s a smart strategy to go under in 1 and over in 2 when you don’t have compensatory picks. I trust Mike Shirley. Just let him make the recommendation and get Jeremy Haber out of the room.

I think it’s a big mistake if they don’t. Where is the offense coming from?

Beckham is an analyst. It’s not even the same job

I’d be shocked if Kelenic were involved. I also don’t think it’s the Braves. It would’ve been done already if it were going to be Atlanta imo.

We saw what the asking price was from Reds according to Levine

I'd still say Baltimore because it makes the most sense but I'm not sure at all. AA doesn't trade for Boras clients because he likes to extend players immediately after trading for them. They don't have any Boras guys I don't believe.

Was this recently or from his notes column last week? I thought Atlanta too but I honestly don't think it's them. They just don't have enough I don't think. It would always be really out of character for AA.

I’d be surprised by Hader. That would cost them their 2nd, 3rd, 5th and 6th rounder plus $2 million in int space

I checked with Romero on this. Cruz had been rumored to Cubs for like a year and at a lot more money than $1 million. I think he might be wrong. Herrera is fun though.

I got nothing

I just don’t see a word where Braves offer beats Reds, Dodgers or Orioles. It also doesn’t really fit AA’s MO

I’d be very surprised if they’re still in. Doubt they commit another $30 million AAV to one guy. I don’t think Cohen gets outbid here.

I think this is very alarmist and hyperbolic. The White Sox aren’t leaving Chicago.

Meh. If the Sox could consistently win their shitty division of small market teams, theyd get plenty of attention

I mean, ok. How do the Cubs stop the White Sox from competing against Detroit, Minnesota, Cleveland and Kansas City? Jerry Reinsdorf living another 10 or so years is the worst thing that can happen.

Why would that bother me? The Cubs and White Sox aren’t rivals. I’d also prefer the best player on the planet playing here in Chicago. That would be awesome. Way better than on the west coast. I’m pretty certain he’s not coming here though.

This is insane

He definitely has sources

The White Sox are expected to make a selection. Pitching would be my guess

This would be a haul. Rhett Lowder, Chase Petty, Carlos Jorge and Sammy Stafura was the asking the price. Hello!

They fell to 6th but they’re still eligible next year

The Sox might not even pick 10th. If Oakland is worse than them, they’ll pick 11th haha

I just don't love that the best players in the class play 1B and 2B. The college pitchers have lots of reliever risk.

I disagree with both of these. Top 3 would be fine with the huge bonus pool. 7,8,9 is better than 4-6 though.
