I'm sure I'll end up catching a game in Boston or Cleveland this year. I'd like to see one in Chicago but I can imagine the tickets will be cheap come gameday. Hopefully by the time most of us go we have some more exciting pitchers and position players called up. That's really the only saving grace.

Met with in LA no. Sent in a presentation? Yes.

I was just in Boston back in September. Ended up seeing a White Sox Red Sox game and it was a blast. People were cool too.

Just for fun to crap on them. But that starting rotation is not looking too great.

Actually would be a great idea

Chris needs to find some more guys to flip at the deadline now. Need some reclamation projects like last year.

Chris Getz played this about as well as possible. Not sure he was getting anything close to this package at the trade deadline.

Kyle Teel would be amazing

Anybody going to post that Boston Globe writers tweet? Trade may be coming

and hopefully nobody believes this

Ah no. Two teams that love their prospects and banking on them to get desperate is a little foolhardy. Corbin Burnes is still out there too.

It's amazing that all these pitchers are suddenly on the market!

Now the Padres are going to trade Dylan Cease. Well that's interesting.

This happened at the last meeting. Everyone thought the Soto signing this meeting would open the flood gates but it didn't. Rob Manfred is probably pissed off that this is dragging along.

I laughed at that statement by the other exec.

Soto signs and all quiet on the western front since then

Well I think that last signing is a signal it's not the Dodgers.

So we'll see

Was thinking the same until this.

Juan Soto signing tonight would be a good start.

the Red Sox have a real good history as of late of signing free agents too so good luck to them

Expecting teams that prospect hug to not prospect hug is wishful thinking. It's going to be super surprising to me if Baltimore pulls a trade off.

Ultimately despite Varagas being garbage this guy is a fool. There were some rumblings when we acquired him that he was but it seems like he isn't growing up and can't keep his mouth shut. Good riddance. We can bad mouth our team all we want. But there's people you don't want on the team and he's one of them.
