People here need to stop getting their panties in bunches. I messaged fathom what I know. All it was is that I have reasons to believe the Cubs are working on a big move. Never said it is definitively Harper. I fear that it is, though. I get that I keep things light hearted around here, but I've never spread false rumors. I really don't give a damn if people believe me or not. People on here have divulged rumors they have heard, and I'm grateful for that. This forum is the truth and I love the knowledge I've gotten from it. Just trying to do the same.

That would literally be pathetic. I let him know it could have serious implications for my career if he did. It is unlikely that it would, but you never know. I've never tried to spread a false rumor on here.

Mods are free to ban me for a week. The terms are laid out above.

Lmao what a crock of garbage. Maybe you should reread it.

Bro I sent you what I sent fathom. I didn't say he would sign today. I didn't even say it was Harper for sure.

Since when are you part of the bet? You have no say in the terms. Unless you want to be part of the bet, you don't make the terms. I sent you what I know.

F it, let's do this big boy. Like I said, I don't know if they are working on Harper or not, all I know is they are in the middle of something big. It just gives creedance to the fact that the Cubs are very likely still in the Harper running. You've got way better odds than I do,and but whatever. The ban bet is on.

I said what I know. The Cubs are working on something big. What that means, I don't know. Could be Harper, could be Machado. Could be anything.

I pmed fathom and a mod regarding what I heard. If you don't believe me, I'd be happy to make ban bets with your non-believing asses.

A source tells me that big news may be coming from the Cubs soon... Not sure what that means. It could be another player. I know nobody has reason to believe me, but I've never tried to break any news on here. I'm really nervous. Hope it isn't Bryce.

He is one good looking dude. Ink him

Dude is a filth monster, but a 33 year old reliever scares me. He'll get a good contract.

I haven't seen a Sox player disrespected like this in a while. Yolmer out up a 2.6 war according to baseball reference last year. Fangraphs isn't as kind to him in the WAR department. Yolmer is a solid hitter, while playing elite 3B and 2B, with the ability to play SS. Also a top tier dugout guy. He will be in the MLB in 3-4 years.

Sure, let's just ignore age, contract, WAR, and the Red Sox goal of shedding salary.

Soxtalk: Ron, you criminally underrate Jose Abreu. Soxtalk: Engel for JBJ?

Oh God, somebody cover Kenny's ears

This. Yolmer + Nate Jones makes sense to me.

Am I missing something? Why are so many people here disrespecting JBJ? 29 year old CFer with an ops north of 700. That's a solid player.

Not sure how their IF depth is shaping out. Yolmer for JBJ is reasonable if they want IF depth. I'm thinking they'll want relievers, though.

You want to save money by not signing a superstar positional player, but want to spend it on bullpen pieces? No thanks...

I don't need to. I remember them from previously checking. My mind is incredibly good when it comes to remembering and analyzing statistics. Dude hasn't even slumped for a week

Arenado is so overrated. His numbers away from Coors leave so much to be desired.

He hasn't really. Check the stats

I still think Lozano and Boras are working together to leverage massive contracts for their guys. Machado and Harper both wait it out until they get filthy contracts. Neither signs until they both get 375m+ contracts, bare minimum.
