This simultaneously did not age well and got a glow up.

If that's the case, Hoyer did lines with Preller and Hoyer was far too gone.

My dad LOVES Madrigal. His favor player growing up was Fox and I'm pretty sure he saw Nicky as the second coming. I just had to talk him down and walk him through the fact that you now have a Liam in the 9th, Kimbrel in the 8th, Kopech in the 7th, then Tepera / Bummer / Crochet. They're golden.

The good: The bullpen is fucking scary now. The lineup is covered. Clearly, the money will be spent. The risk: Madrigal turns into a batting champion on the North Side and is beloved. He could also be constantly injured, make mistakes this board shredded him for, etc. and this turns into a massive win for the Sox (I say this as a Madrigal fan).

Holy shit.

But ... hope?

Passan confirming.

I'm nervous, scared, and excited.

I'd like to send them Yermin just to see how Cubs fans would react. I say this genuinely. I think some would hate Yermin, while others would sing his praises to the high heavens when he goes on a tear. It'd be like if sin city sox fan was making threads about signing him to extensions, but on 670 The Score.

And then post an Eminem song.

You're underselling him. He's 23, thank you very much.

Obviously either scenario is great. I'd take either of those versus say the Phillies since their heyday. They're just two very prominent, recent examples that the Sox are semi-modeled after.

Godspeed, Paddy and Shirley.

I think we'd all prefer our rebuild go the way of the Astros rather than the Cubs.

This is why the Sox can't be content. There's no guarantee they'll own the division in the future.

I regret the day Caulfield learned the word "cancel"

Pour one out for Rockies fans.

Please see this thread. Same premise.

The Dodger's #1, #2, #17 per Pipeline. Ruiz and Gray are #41 and #42 on Pipeline.

God. Damn.

I mean, I don't see us giving the Twins Crochet and Vaughn.

We also have to hope we nail every big international signing - the Roberts, Cespedes, Colas, Veras. The fact that Yolbert is finally hitting and isn't a write off saved him from being a disaster. Imagine if Robert, while much younger, was a Rusney Castillo or Yasmany Tomas? We'd be fucked.
