One day hanging with Alonso.

Not with Ohtani's TJS

Adding to this: It's in ESPN's interest to drum up Cubs, Yankees, Dodgers because half the teams in MLB aren't as marketable for ESPN. Ex. They make the Sox stop existing to boost the Cubs.

Counter point: ESPN's baseball coverage is trash since they let so many go

Likewise, I think any of us that are happy about the deal will immediately sour if he doesn't decide to sign here.

See: Alonso, Yonder

Great stuff outside of the Sox not being a brand. Eazy-E guaranteed they would be.

Or trade with Cubs. Or sign Luis Robert.

They must... really like Alex Call. Or the Yankees want no salary.

SoxTalk: BURN IT DOWN WSD: "Chill."

I mean, the Cubs got Lester and then got Heyward, despite Heyward bombing.

I'm not really going to cry over Alex Call and $9M

Fathom knows we're gonna sign both.

Dear God, Bob. Spell check.

I like you

Don't ruin his dreams like that.

So, we're getting Machado and Harper now?

Kendall Gill has aged.

I don't know why, but the tagging a bunch of writers and asking for credit is what seems the weirdest to me. It's most likely one of the White Sox, Phillies, and Dodgers. If he said "Harper to Mets" and he signed with the Mets, that's another story. I could also just be reading into it too much.

Yeah, in a vacuum I wouldn't care, but Boylen + this just feels like the straw that's broken the camel's back

It is steadily dawning on me how dumb the question was. I guess my gut feeling is if we traded either of the young guys, people would flip since they were cheap and had potential, while Grandal could fall off at any point and would be expensive.

I should have said "what moves would you make", but I enjoy this answer.

Charles the Cat is on it.

Question: 1) If we signed Grandal and one of Zavala/Collins was tearing it up, how would people react? 2) If we signed Grandal and Zavala AND Collins were tearing it up, how would people react?
