Jose Abreu

You can tell he's just trolling when he says he'll root for the Cubs. That's normal. What would make this really funny is if he were to threaten to cheer for Abreu to put up big numbers next season, especially in April.

By positive, I mean overly-pro organization. Such as the McGuffey tweet that is currently being talked about

NBC Sports Chicago as a whole has been total garbage over the past year or so (probably a little less). The whole "My Teams" app has completely shattered their way of reporting and now everything is clickbait/overly positive. I feel bad for Chuck Garfein, I have a feeling he doesn't like the new format but doesn't have much of a choice but to use it.

That makes a lot more sense then. I interpreted it as more of a snap judgment that you hate Reinsdorf and decided to just move your family to Tennessee because of it.

I mean, your kids don't need to move to Nashville in order to avoid the wrath of JR

Man I wish this were still the case.

Makes too much sense to happen, unfortunately

If we were willing to pay Machado 350 mil, why not do this?

Another big difference is the GM who gave that answer is about to sign Harper for like 10/325

Was it Bruce Levine?

Seems to me like Boras is getting his worst nightmare and the one and only team seriously in on Harper is Philadelphia. That's why he's having Heyman tweet that San Diego is still interested. Padres likely can't compete with Philly, Sox are <300 apparently, Giants are short-term only. Philadelphia suddenly has a lot of leverage.

You can't say that the deals aren't close without knowing exactly what the bonuses are. Seems to me like Machado didn't want to bet on himself making ASGs, winning awards, etc.

Such a Boras plant. He knows there are only 2-3 teams on Harper now (depending on how you view the Giants) so he needed this out there.

But it was a damn good post

And the guy who plays Abed in that show is a White Sox fan in real life. We've come full circle. Machado confirmed.

It's really hard to have a high OBP when you don't take walks

You should freak out about the fact that you're not freaking out.

You know Soxtalk is losing its collective mind when a Bob Nightengale tweet is taken as gospel

So the real offer is 8/240, and Lozano wants people to believe that it’s 8/280. Thanks Bob
