I retract my earlier statement upon further review and admit my biases were similar to old school dudes who get wowed by flash plays.

Yes, because we clearly haven't negotiated with Boras clients in recent years.

DDR....really needed to hand it to Zach there.

Well this end game just real interesting real fast.

He definitely didn't deserve a SS nomination. Gold Glove is a travesty.

In honor of Halloween, the sarcasm is thicker than a snicker.

Back when Hosmer was a free agent and they could have moved on from Abreu, it would have been a BIG MOVE to get mega star and Royals hero Eric Hosmer. Plus, he was Top Tier, of the A-Class Free Agents. The friends and family plan was stupid and the Sox shouldn't have relied on options to woo Machado. But you know? We aren't reportedly telling teams to take a Top 50 prospect (if not Top 20) to get out of Alonso and Jay.

no i completely forgot who was it

- 3-way deal that doesn't happen unless Cashman gets into Preller's coke stash. Kimbrel, Yermin to Padres Gallo, Abrams to White Sox Keuchel, Hosmer, Adolfo, and fat stacks of cash to the Yankees. - Sign Semien. - Sign Quintana as a swingman to cover Kopech's transition to the rotation. - Re-sign Tepera. - Re-sign Rodon. - Re-sign Leury, properly use him. What they will do: - Sign Escobar - Offer Rodon QO, let him walk. - Re-sign Tepera - Trade Jake Burger in a move that infuriates half the board, makes half the board happy a la Dunning-for-Lynn (but not that caliber).

I love this because it backtracks on itself. "He was on the VERY back end...of the A Tier." Like, you're trying so hard to discount Keuchel as a free agent signing that summer while also acknowledging that he actually was fairly ranked. He got higher than projected by MLBTR, but w/e. You probably would have been happy if they gave #3 free agent Eric Hosmer an albatross contract, even though the rankings from the time basically say "yeah, this contract is gonna be fucking crippling." Keuchel sucked last year. The defense sure didn't help, but neither did giving up home runs. Hopefully rebuilding innings can help him. If not, he's likely gone (I don't see the team letting him get to 160 IP if he pitches the same way).

I would not at all be shocked if they retire Jo's number tomorrow. This is the teaser clip: Then look at all the people showing up. Miller, Kirk, Asik, Luol, Kurt Thomas all retired and are showing up. Rose, Taj, and Thibs with the Knicks.

I mean the last thing I'm worried about is Tony getting a paycheck.

Couldn't have happened to a bigger jackass on the team. Love it. 7dh72w.mp4

Pre-2005 Ozzie is perfect for that team. Post-2005, when a team loaded with under-performing highly paid veterans needs highly heralded prospects to come up and perform:

lmao. Have you watched Ozzie at all since he got canned? Humbled, no. Smarter? Maybe. Yes, the PC nerds known as checks notes Miami Cubans that fled the Castro regime and notoriously hate PC politics. Find a new slant.

Padres. You know who.

Thad's played all of 9 minutes this season. Dougie, albeit in 3 games, is a starter for the Spurs. I'd definitely inquire about Thad.

Would you be cool with it or would you be pretty pissed and post about wanting a new owner Obviously Sox fans don't get to ratify a choice, but for years we've clamored for someone like Cuban or Cohen. I think both of those have lost significant luster for various reasons.

The obsession with moving one of the best defensive third basemen in baseball back to second base confounds me.

In what is probably a complete overreaction to the post-GarPax, AKME-era Bulls overseen by Michael Reinsdorf looking promising where it seems like Reinsdorf the Younger made the correct moves to get the ball rolling and has since let the Front Office do its own thing, would you accept MR as a new Chairman post-JR?

I feel like Gallo is gonna want out of NY.

I honest to God don't remember Walt Lemon.

I expected them to be fun to watch on offense. I didn't expect them to be fun on defense.

I will accept this is as an admission that your Abreu threads are trolling and henceforth lock them. See, mods do stuff!
