That would be some pretty good shit right there.

Bob you stop that.

Listen, I said we'd burn a specific witch, not me.

Whoever guesses the right page count for the signing will be banned, as they are obviously a witch.

Honestly, yeah.

Wish him the best. He always busted his ass.

I know it's late, but just got caught up and want to say I think Charles the Cat is just Kaplan wearing those novelty cat ears you see at collegiate football games from people trying to look cute.

Getting Artest for Longley is 1000 times better

Like...because you can't believe a team would be that asinine to offer up Eloy/Cease AND Abreu for an expiring player who doesn't have otherworldly road splits? Machado got 4 prospects, but only one was a Top 100 and he was #84. Not #3 and #25 Edit: Also, Eloy Jimenez becomes Death, Destroyer of Baseballs if he's in Coors Field.

Years from Passan, years and dollars from Gomez

Yeah. Passan is a Top 3 reporter.

Stagger them a year apart. Either one gives you $30M+ in cash to retain your own guys or sign someone if they leave. However, if one of them leaves, our prospects of luring another top FA are probably bad.

Right now they're around 80. That's a $32M AAV. If your payroll is only $112M...screw it, go for Harper.

I just don't understand Jason giving the Bulls a pass this time, but disliking Markkanen.

"No sources here, just a lukewarm take."

I honestly figured we'd be locking this thread well before 150 pages, but it has taken on a mind of it's own. Also, the Machado Contract Formula does not specify years. So I guess we should add that. Entire formula, with P representing page lengths. (P/12) Years / $(P*2.5)M With 230 page numbers, Machado would be looking at $575M over 19 years.

He's just that old

If we traded Alex Colome for Omar Narvaez, we'd never hear the end about how we should have gotten more and Narvaez is awful defensively.

Please god

This dude.

Get Torres cheap, quick!

Which is silly, because he's amazing at 3rd.

According to my Machado Contract Formula (Pages of Thread * 2.5M), Machado is on track to get $375M from the Sox. Hopefully over like, 13 years or something crazy.

Re-sign Davidson for games at Kauffman.

A do-over from his LatAm recruitment
