Jose Abreu

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Nov 21, 2017 -> 03:27 PM) If not done this offseason I think the chance he goes full blown free agent is a better reality. If he does so, I guess he'll fit the timeline better. We'll actually have money to throw at him

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Nov 15, 2017 -> 01:48 PM) No way they don't protect him. QUOTE (GenericUserName @ Nov 15, 2017 -> 03:29 PM) That was my exact thought when I read that. I already have him penciled in on the 40, along with Eloy Jimenez for obvious reasons.

Again, I still don't think Polo is eligible to be drafted. He was signed in 2012 before turning 18, so I think he gets one more year in the minors before needing to be protected.

Zinger!

Xenophobia is a topic that should only be discussed in the fillibuster.

Why would he even opt out though? It seems unlikely to me that he'd get the remainder of his current contract on the open market, even if he keeps playing like this.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Nov 20, 2017 -> 04:05 PM) What year was he signed? 2012

QUOTE (bmags @ Nov 20, 2017 -> 04:02 PM) I'm surprised Guerrero is mad. If he's picked he is in the majors next year, if he's not he's in...the same place with the org he already was in. Isn't the rule 5 draft kind of a favor to exactly these sort of players? Maybe he overcooked his pizza.

Doesn't Polo get 1 more year since he was signed at/before age 18?

QUOTE (shipps @ Nov 20, 2017 -> 03:52 PM) Guerrero apparently tweeted "What a f***ing joke" today. Yeah, he did... yikes.

Man, nobody outshines Hamilton himself, maybe Samuel Seabury though

QUOTE (flavum @ Nov 20, 2017 -> 03:25 PM) I’ve seen them do stuff after the initial announcement and end up adding another player. Things can still happen before 7. Also could have a couple non tenders in a couple weeks. Any chance Saladino is cut by then? Don't see the point in having him anymore when Yolmer does his job better/his back issues

Have you?

Peter/Guerrero?

There's an interesting team at #1 here... ESPN: Finding the best spot for Giancarlo Stanton

F*** Yoshi

Cool.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 17, 2017 -> 11:44 AM) Sensitive Squad‏ @EazyEthann @barstoolWSD don’t know if it means anything but…. Avi cancelled tomorrow’s appearance at Chicago Sports Spectacular He cancelled weeks ago, per another user

Zander or Xander- which spelling do you prefer?

RELAX.

Oh man, Porter and Ayton are my two targets for the Bulls

Eh, Joel Embiid needs to stay healthy for a season before I start buying the hype

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 16, 2017 -> 09:52 AM) Decent chance that if there is a really a trade market for Avi, that both Avi and Abreu go out the door this winter. That changes the whole equation. Right. As of now, I think it's very possible they win 82-87 games. Those moves would obviously change things. Regardless, I disagree with those who think we're going to be worse/as bad this year than we were last year.

Zach Randolph.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Nov 16, 2017 -> 11:18 AM) With the roster now at 36, figure Covey, Petricka, Putnam, Saladino, Willy Garcia, Hansen, May, Tilson, and Palka all could be in jeopardy. I doubt Garcia, Tilson, or Palka are in danger.
