Sox and a Prayer

Not sure he would. Madrigal can play any infield position. A shortstop in high school. Recruited to be an infielder in college.

Yeah well I wish I was important enough that a helicopter was sent for me because I was needed at work. So back to the real world......yeah, what he wants and what he gets are 2 different things.

Yeah I'm not sure Gio is their guy either. Dallas Keuchel is the type of pitcher the sox love. A ground ball pitcher with a low maintenance delivery. I get it that he's old. I also get it that he wants 5 yrs. No way I would do that. I'd give him 2 with a 3rd yr option. Make it alot of money so that he'll take the 2 - 3 yrs. Sox can afford it.

601?

No. Soon.

I remember all of those really bad Yankees teams of the 80s. Before Jeter. Donny baseball Mattingly, a young Henderson, Barfield, and Dave Righetti. A whole generation ago. And now, really the last 20 years, all this entitlement. If you ever go to Cooperstown and visit the baseball hall of fame, there is a whole section dedicated to the Yankees and their 27 world championships. It really was impressive. And without a doubt fans the flames of entitlement. I hate the Yankees. Lol

So I guess it probably would of taken a Cease, Zavala, and Adams? Or maybe Pinkelton instead of Adams? That's alot for 2yrs control of the best catcher.

I totally agree! He's go such a funky delivery. I heard Melton say once that opposing hitters have a hard time picking up the ball because of the delivery. Perfect for facing 1 - 3 batters out of relief. I know he had the occasional good srart. But his struggles have alot to do with going through the lineup- especially more than once and struggling with command. Like Chili said earlier he has done alot of work this offseason. I'm intrigued to see what it translates to.

We're starting to see some smoke..... Are we getting close to a "it's happening?"

I love your optimism! And I think you may be right.

I think that I'm going to swell-opt if we get this deal done. ?

Yeah, I believe she started it. I thought a few others jumped in arguing about it. When was that? Was that around Soxfest? Or did he post something since?

You're right. Sorry for the generalization. But many were in that argument.

I said the same thing the last time he posted something. But everyone was arguing that it was one of the Reinsdorfs.

Oh good, things were getting a little slow. This is the burner account guy, right? I would so love for him to be right.

It's kinda strange that Harper to the Phillies is a bold prediction.

I'm busting my quads right now. Cycling's my passion.....along with Manny on the south side.

That is what I have suspected.

Maybe you need a snickers. Love you Parkman but you know how you get when you're hungry.

Good catch fathom! I believe he was. Someone from this board sent him a message.

They are in great shape. We're 2 weeks out from spring training and heavily involved in conversations with both superstars and their agents!

Because then it becomes a game of musical chairs. When the music stops.....someone's left without a whale.

I have always felt during this process, that the Sox probably have an offer on the table to each of them. Who ever commits first - the other offer is pulled. I mean, I would love both but it's just not gonna happen.

I know someone was saying the Padres wanted to negotiate an extension with realmuto first. I don't really see that happening but, Sonny Gray just did with the reds. So who knows?

Idk, that paul crane guy seems to be all over the place. I mean with the Padres stuff. Could sign at any moment sort of thing. Padres would like to meet face to face first?
