Could always discuss the topic at hand? 🤷‍♂️

Ehhh...I would think with the Burr move a national writer would have announced it but not if it had actually happened already. To my knowledge, that has not occurred yet.

I mean - why DFA a guy without a corresponding move, and then also not announce it? Screams to me like they've just informed Burr they're going to DFA him, that info got out, and the actual transaction in which the Burr DFA is the corresponding move has not actually occurred yet. Don't really see any other scenario that makes sense.

Gibson is underrated. This is a solid deal for Texas.

4/$34M. Nice deal for Pomeranz after taking a cheap 1 year deal last offseason, being terrible as a SP, and then a brief run of dominance as a reliever. He did well.

Honestly curious - do you think people think this type of stuff (posting in every thread at once) and the poop bit are funny?

Still find it bizarre that this hasn't been announced by the org. Why the delay?

Agreed. I just don't think Strasburg is going to settle for a 5/$150M deal right now. Maybe in late February if need be, but not right now.

Fairly lukewarm on this if Sox are ainvolved. If the price is really just Sheets, it'd be whatever to me. There are definitely worse options than Bundy, but just don't see the point in using trade capital when there are similar arms of the FA market for only slightly more AAV.

I mean, this shows Yolmer that no other team was willing to pay the price either. Could help in negotiations if there is mutual interest in bringing him back. But I kind of doubt there is.

Yah I just tried and no dice, still not working.

Will try that, thanks,!

Still not working on my iPhone despite restarting a couple times.

You and everyone else.

Please stop quoting that guy.

It does take 48 hours. In my opinion, I don't think there is much to announce with regard to Yolmer until another team claims him or he clears and thereby removed from the 40 man. The fact that he was placed on waivers in and of itself doesn't necessarily call for a press release. The Burr news though one would think would be corresponding move to adding someone to the 40 man. Unless the Sox really think DFAing him now gives him a higher liklihood of clearing waivers - but not sure how doing that now versus when the next MLB signing is announced changes much.

Rabbit just kindling the fire. Love it.

I think Frare and definitely Hamilton are quite a bit more safe than you suggest. Vieira, Medeiros, Zavala, Covey, Fulmer are probably the least safe.

Could just be as simple as turning the page from the good news on being added to the 40 man. The moment to enjoy is over, and now he's going getting back to the grind. I wouldn't read into that too much, personally. We really need lefty depth and literally just added him to the 40 man, so I doubt he's going anywhere.

Really does.

I seriously want to kick him in the shin if I ever meet him. Just an insufferable dbag on twitter.

Yolmer hasn't cleared yet.

👀

As others have said, no reason to DFA him unless something is waiting to be announced (along with the DFA). Honestly, since he's recovering from TJS, may be a decent chance he clears and we get to retain him. He's got a decent arm, so wouldn't hate keep him in the org.

Truly exhausting.
