Who knows, maybe someone will actually put their name on it. I think the way things are run at Halas Hall, the way they like to beat things into the ground, Emery and Trest and Cutty will all be present in 2015 and feeding fans the same crap.

90 wins / AL Central Champ

Ken Rosenthal ‏@Ken_Rosenthal 3m3 minutes ago Sources: #Yankees close to signing free-agent 3B Chase Headley to four-year deal.

Late to the party, but man it was awesome waking up to this yesterday morning. Hahn put his shades on and said "Deal with it"

QUOTE (WKamm @ Dec 14, 2014 -> 07:07 AM) After they significantly upgraded the roster? Hell, no!!!!

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Dec 12, 2014 -> 10:08 AM) or not check out of so many runs or check into a run. Basically Jay needs to be able to read defenses and change plays better. Which as far I can see, has never been very good at and probably never will be

Bob Nightengale ‏@BNightengale 35s35 seconds ago The #Royals have their Power hitter in Kendrys Morales, who comes at $17 million over 2 years, $13 million cheaper than Billly Butler lol

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Dec 11, 2014 -> 09:14 AM) They are only stupid if they hamper you from making moves in the future. Cespedas must be a real piece of work. That Tiger clubhouse will be something. If Tigers Resign Max, they are a better team. I hope the scherzer bidding goes skyhigh so it's a lose-lose for Detroit

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Dec 11, 2014 -> 09:05 AM) Porcello is not a K machine. He is however still only 25 (will be 26 in two weeks) Nah I meant Cespedes, wording sucked

QUOTE (shysocks @ Dec 11, 2014 -> 08:59 AM) That makes more sense. Straight-up, Porcello for Cespedes was a robbery. Definitely hinges on who they get back but nonetheless this is great for the Sox. A K machine.

Jon Morosi ‏@jonmorosi 46s46 seconds ago #Tigers will obtain minor-league pitcher from #RedSox in Porcello-Cespedes deal, source says. @CJNitkowski first reported trade.@CJNitkowski reported.

Sox do have a track record of dealing with both GMs so hopefully out of the blue

QUOTE (LDF @ Dec 10, 2014 -> 09:34 AM) unless they are going to flip Danks. Would rather just get masterson on a 1 yr prove it deal

There is literally no need for Volquez, would be wasted money

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Dec 10, 2014 -> 09:24 AM) Good for the Cubs. This contract will obviously be a mess they have to deal with in years 5 and 6(if not earlier) but it was time for them to make a leap like this as well. Nice rotation they have. I think they're counting on Arrieta and Hendricks being legit, and I'm not saying they might not but they need to show at least another strong year before they start talking about having a playoff rotation.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Dec 10, 2014 -> 09:21 AM) Thats right. Keep it on point Okay we'll just do a 3way trade, chris sale to boston, boston sends boaegarts and owens here and tampa sends myers and longoria here, while tampa gets 2 top 20 prospects from boston and we send viciedo and danks. lif_shatz would jizz all over his screen. Edit:color

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Dec 9, 2014 -> 09:46 PM) That whole series of tweets from that kid was really embarrassing. He actually bragged about having a 75 foot pool a screened in batting cAge and said he drives a bmw. These were things he bragged about to a major league baseball player BUT WE'RE MORE POPULAR!!! LULZ!!

That kid is a complete tool

QUOTE (flavum @ Dec 9, 2014 -> 04:22 PM) All kidding aside, it's unfortunate he had a terrible season. He's only going into his age 24 season, so maybe something will click with him eventually. Seriously, hopefully the kid picks himself up and can warrant a look during the season. Hahn would have had another feather in his hat had this kid worked out from the start.

Jon Morosi ‏@jonmorosi 10m10 minutes ago Miguel Montero trade to #Cubs is agreed upon, source confirms, and #DBacks receiving two players in return.

QUOTE (IowaSoxFan @ Dec 9, 2014 -> 12:54 PM) Great trade, I like the pick up of Ynoa as he has good raw stuff a la Frank Montas. Could end up as a rotation piece or a solid high leverage reliever. MLB has updated their org prospect rankings: Chris Bassitt at 19 for the A's Ynoa not ranked, but was ranked as Oaklands #2 prospect at the end of last season. " Ynoa's promise has been clouded by injuries, including one that resulted in Tommy John surgery in 2010, that have limited him to just 39 2/3 innings in the four years since he signed. His fastball sits in the low-90s and he gets a good downward angle, thanks to his 6-foot-7 frame. He also throws a sharp curveball and changeup. Despite the problems, Ynoa still has the potential to be a frontline starter." Hes only thrown a total of 161 innings over his career and looks to have moved to the bullpen this season. If Ynoa can have a really strong season I think at his age he could be in the bullpen 2016 with his arm so lively and that would definitely offset the Bassitt loss.

So is there any chance we could still trade for this guy?

Infante apparently is being made available

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Dec 9, 2014 -> 11:42 AM) What a funny guy. got me excited
