Chicago White Sox

Sexy as fuck: Moncada, CF Machado, 3B Harper, RF Abreu, DH Jimenez, LF Alonso, 1B Anderson, SS Castillo, C Sanchez/FA, 2B

I don’t understand what you’re trying to say here.

I don’t think raBBit is saying that. From what I can tell, all he’s trying to say is the Sox pulled out all the stops to land one of these guys and if they come up short people will forget that.

100% agree with fathom. This is tremendous news.

What in the fuck!?!

Thank god for a new thread! And no fucking way this rumor is legit.

Burn this trash thread to the ground!!

Get to work bud!!

I’m just going to ask the question, but how would some random dude on reddit know about both Bour & Harper signings? Like for those of you guys already assuming this is real, what would the connection be? Unless Bour’s agent is Boras, I see none that makes any sense.

I already bought three custom made Harper jerseys for my kids for Christmas ?

Wow, you’re now approaching Greg levels. You think these guys are going to pass on 10 year commitments why? Like you are completely losing it man.

Lester isn’t a free agent after this year and declining Quintana’s cheap option is perhaps the single dumbest proposition I have ever seen on this site.

Then Harper must not care about money, because those national brands are unlikely to offer nearly as much as the Sox or Phillies.

The Cubs have to move significant salary in order to sign Harper. Maybe I shouldn’t say they have no chance, but the odds are so low it’s practically zero.

Good god man, you don’t think about anything, you just assume the worst and pollute this website with your relentless pessimism. And where is this $70M in payroll coming off the books.

And how does it make them better?

For the love of god the Cubs have zero chance of signing Harper. Like where do you come up with this shit.

Now you’re just being dumb.

You either have poor math skills if you think those probabilities are anywhere close to realistic or are simply the most pessimistic person on the face of the planet.

Who are these MLB ready talents you are referring to that are worth taking on a $120M albatross contract.

Unless this cat is Theo or Jed, I can 100% confirm this is complete BS.

Seems like having two or three awesome catchers would be a good problem to have?

Nope and it’s a ridiculous comparison.

Lol...just found this article outlining the impact of pitching framing on 2018 pitching performances. Look who the #1 & #2 most negatively impacted starters were...I’ll give you a hint, they play for the same as McCann does now. https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.reddit.com/r/baseball/comments/9tk3yr/introducing_rfip_evaluating_pitchers_without_the/

I sometimes wonder if half this board even watched the team last year. Didn’t we have the most strikes in the league lost due to poor framing? If you don’t think that has an impact on our young pitching, then I don’t know what to tell you. But hey, who the fuck cares!
