Sox Spin on mini-camp
Lots of chicks down there.

Sox Sign Jon Jay; 1 year/$4 mil, Charlie Tilson DFA'd
Who gets DFA'd?

Madrigal: BA Prospect who could move fast
I thought Tatis would be on that list.
-
Sox Sign Kelvin Herrera; 2 years/$18 mil, 3rd yr club option; Clarkin DFA
I wonder why his numbers were so much worse after KC traded him to Washington.

FS: Guest Post by Micker Adolfo - Ups and Downs, and what is next
Micker and Luis Robert sure have a lot in common. Massive talent and lots of injuries. If they are both healthy, I hope Sox move them quickly through the system. Very quickly.

Harper to Phillies 13yr/330 mil
Q is due $22 Million total in 2019-20. Then a free agent.

Sox could still bring back Avi
So would I. Not exactly thrilled, but I would be in favor of it. Avi was dinged up last year; if he is healthy, he should be good to go and be productive. I don't get all the Avi-hate here.

Machado signs with Padres 10/300
If we get Manny, how long does it take the Mods to get his face on the banner?

Machado signs with Padres 10/300
That's what Tulo did a few years ago. Look what it got him.

Harper to Phillies 13yr/330 mil
FWIW, the boys at PTI said Harper's team met for 5 hours with Nationals over Christmas break.

Offseason plan in the event the Sox don't get HarpChado
Tapia would make us better. Rockies keep talking about moving Blackmon to a corner, but I think they are leaning toward Dahl in CF, not Tapia.

Take a guess --- Next years top 100
Attack? You call that an "attack"? Do you ever read any of your own posts?

Harper to Phillies 13yr/330 mil
Ownership not gonna happen. Other owners have to approve, and they don't want to start that bag of worms.

I did. We both know what Collins hit last season. I say it's not worthy of Top 100. Just my opinion. Plus, there will be another draft in June, and there are probably 20 or so unnamed prospects in that group that will vault ahead of Collins, including at least one catcher. I hope he proves me wrong. And, even if I'm right, he can still be a good major league player.

Sox interested in Encarnacion per Morosi
We should have traded for him. Perfect fit here, too. Geez, he's better than Harper.

You're dreaming, Jimmy. Basabe is probably a dream, too.

Discussion: Harsher luxury tax penalties
Please do.

Discussion: Harsher luxury tax penalties
Trouble is, if MLB wants to change the luxury tax penalty, they have to go through the Player's Association, who happen to be much smarter than the owners.

Sox interested in Jose Martinez
Then we are stuck with Alonso for another year.
-
Yankees sign Adam Ottavino: 3yr/27m
aI keep wondering why Rockies did not make a QO to Ottavino. He would not have accepted it, so they would get a draft pick. Or, they would get him for one more season. Same argument with Lemahieu.

Harper to Phillies 13yr/330 mil
How does their ownership structure work? Is the debt internal or external? IOW, can they be foreclosed? Someone told me a long time ago, back in the LBO days, that leverage is okay if you can pay the debt service and the underlying asset is appreciating.

White Sox Christmas Gifts
I received a T-shirt saying "I Still Call it COMISKEY".

Addison Russell
I bet he gets a contract to play in Japan or Korea.
