Didn't he already comment on the losses from this past season? I'm afraid his big move (at least in his eyes) will be bringing his buddy out retirement to manage this team.

Just...spend...the money for the love of god.

And are actually willing to pay.

Too used to them being left with nothing but an empty bag. So we will probably be the team that has to find another option.

Lol wut

Point still stands that neither guy is blocked by signing a star player. Pretty ridiculous to think that.

Couple things: 1. neither of those guys are currently in the organization, 2. neither of those guys are guaranteed to be stars, even guaranteed MLBers for that matter as of now and 3. you could move Eloy to DH in a couple years which would free up an OF, if it were to become an issue (this would be a great problem to have).

And it was more geographic location than actual baseball related.

If people didn't know who the Bears owner was but knew how the Bears were run, you could guess that Jerry owned the team and it would be a good guess haha

Fucking kangaroos.

Yeah I did see that.

Can any insider give us a heads up if they are even talking to him or have interest? Easy to just make a prediction based on who's out there, team need, what a team's payroll is currently, etc. I doubt Sherman actually knows if they are discussing a deal or not. Edit: He's not basing on anything other than educated guess, therefor , no legs.

Wish there were some legs to this. Not just someone throwing shit at all seeing if it sticks.

Lol

The last time I finally felt content (eh not a fan but was done being upset) about the hire, the news of the DUI came out.

Engel is a fine platoon player from the right side. I'm good with that platoon in the 8-spot as long as the pitching is upgraded.

Not if they were commanding Vaughn at that time.

If they tender him and release him by Spring Training, they only owe him what, 40% of his salary? I believe they did this with Lawrie, Viciedo, and Avi.

They can technically agree to less money. The team just needs to offer 80% of the previous year's salary if it goes to an arbitration hearing.

Agreed 100%

This. I'm ok with the baseball rumors but don't need the back and forth.

Yeah especially when its not even funny.

Being a Sox fan, I've learned to not get my hopes up at this point lol

If they were to sign Springer and then trade Vaughn for a pitcher, I wouldn't mind a guy like Joc (in a platoon with Engel) splitting time with Eloy in LF and DH. Though, I would prefer just signing Brantley then but I'm not sure they would commit that much to him after signing Springer.

I would rather sign Bauer but I would not be upset about signing Springer for 5 years. If they dealt Vaughn for a front of the rotation type arm, it would make it easier knowing you at least address a huge hole in the offense.
