This thread sucks this morning. More Machado less Tatis plz.

It's just a tweet saying MM is nearing a 6-year, $210M deal with the Chicago White Sox. It's Jef Passan with one f, and it has 5 followers. It's very easy to find. I'm refraining from posting it here. SSS's article pretty much posted this tweet with a brief blurb about how a signing is near. SSS then deleted it after being informed he was sourcing an obvious fake.

He did. I @ed him on Twitter informing him it was fake, and he deleted the post on SSS.

No one posted the fake Passan tweet. I'm so proud.

From Law's chat today, regarding pick 1.1 Chip 1:05 Does Houston's recent draft history (hitting big w/Correa and Bregman and lots of hope for Tucker, missing on Appel and Aiken for various reasons) inform us at all as to what Elias likely does at 1/1? How does Rutschman compare to Wieters? Keith Law 1:07 I don't think it informs anything. There's no consensus #1 (not Rutschman, not Witt Jr.) and they may simply try to cut the best deal among the pool of candidates and then try to go over slot multiple times with later picks, as the Astros did in the Correa year, and the Phillies and Twins did in '16 and '17.

Time for a new thread? With a cheeky title?

Hector Gomez is legit.

Also was still recovering from injury. Far too many people around here are down on Madrigal imo.

Done-ish.

I applaud them for it and I think it's hilarious. They shamelessly need to appeal to something other than contending next season, that's for sure.

Jon Jay eyeballs would be a mockery of the eyeball emoji.

I CONNECTED IT FIRST KEN.

So. This is in the other thread, but relevant here.

I am guffawing. This is just like the Alonso signing as far as Manny goes.

Go on.

The thread name changes have been A+ lately.

Regulators mount up.
