Chicago White Sox

I was kind of afraid of this. I do like Marwin and kind of get how the versatility makes sense given where we are, but I would really hate to overpay for a guy like him.

Yup, there is truth to what peavy said.

I think it’s pretty clear he’s waiting until the Winter Meetings to accept our proposal.

Stop hating on my man peavy44!

Valuation <> short-term cash flow.

They’re not. And I’m pretty sure Forbes reports Operating Income which means neither is their interest payments.

Are we actually trying to land two whales? Maybe Morosi was right! If so, someone should tell Timmy & Moncada that they’ve been downgraded to Grant & Armstrong status.

Does that even make them that much better? And to commit $400M to do so? Seems like a huge stretch to me.

Greg?

Solving their debt problem doesn’t mean they don’t have debt that still needs to be paid off. And we all need to remember the Cubs are owned by a legit trust fund. They aren’t Pizza Man who was able to pump all that Little Ceaser’s cash into the team. Until that new TV deal money comes, they have to remain somewhat frugal.

I don’t think it will work that way. Harper will likely go first IMO because he’s the more desirable player. If you’re Boras, what do you gain having one less team in the mix?

Says the guy who scared off our beloved insider!

peavy44 isn’t making anything up, we’ve already seen proof of that. Whether his source is legit remains to be seen, but let’s encourage him to share that info. This has been the most entertaining thread in months.

Hey raBBit, you have any idea what guys they may be looking at now?

Wasn’t it reported they offered 5/$100M?

I actually just threw on my authentic road alternative Peavy jersey in support!

By definition doesn’t that mean they were outbid no?

Harper would be the Michael Jordan of the White Sox. That’s got to be pretty alluring for a guy like him (assuming it comes with a $400M check).

Don’t listen to them haters peavy, most of us got your back!

Wow things are moving fast.

I truly believe these rumors to be accurate.

No one is making jokes I promise!

Do you mind elaborating or PMing with additional details?

Why did he ever agree to this?

I believe his son has an account here.
