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.

Maybe Boras and Lozanon are colluding together to get their guys the best contracts out there. Neither player signs until they both get 375m+ offers with multiple opt outs

The orlioles are giving a division opponent positive feedback on their former superstar so he can sign with them? Interesting...

This. Jose is more valuable to the Sox. Unfortunately, he just doesn't have much trade value given his age, contract, and position

Now were talking. If Jose gets traded for a package of Bukauskas and Beer, and I drive him to the airport, you get banned. If somebody else drives him, I get banned.

I'll drive Jose to the airport if this is the offer the Sox get. Bye bye Jose.
