It was a 5-player deal. Not really that little.

Not true. He would still hold out and wait to see if they offer more.

January 7th wasn't the signing day. That was the press conference day.

Some type of decision = can sign with another team?

Seems just signing with someone in general. Of course it's just an opinion that it COULD end this week, which we all knew it could be this week anyway (as it can happen any day now).

The fact that they would Tweet it out without any confirmation is stupid though.

Let's be honest: Barstool in general just sucks.

Yep. 0% chance that was accurate.

Fake news confirmed. Now can we please stop sharing stuff from random people on Twitter that post this garbage without proof?

Yeah I'm going to call bullshit on that Tweet.

I don't think so either. Feels like posturing. They will be in until the end.

But even that doesn't really work if people quote him. You'll still see all his posts. Not a perfect solution.

This also assumes we sign Machado.

They've gone 13 pitchers for about 4 years so is that a Renteria problem?

Fixed.

Very good point. They might be better off throwing a pile of cash at Trout, who is a big Philly sports fan.

This organization is not in a position to try to win with a shit bid.

I agree. I won't feel bad for the front office for not getting him unless they offered the most money.

Whatever Phils are offering (if they have the best offer), then offer a little more or an extra year. We need this.

Nice trade for the Brewers for a guy who has nowhere to play. The lottery tickets (Hill and Valerio) I mean.

I have a feeling Avi will be back if they don't sign Harper. I do have a feeling Avi is also waiting. If we don't bring him back, he would be an upgrade in the Indians OF.

They very rarely get picked up by both sides.

Doubt there is a mutual option. Those are pointless. Maybe player options. Also, wasn't it reported they are willing to go over 10 the same day it was reported they are only willing to go 7? What's true?

It was more of a: "this is a boring ass off-season" type of discussion. I agree that it would never happen.

You'd pretty much have to trade Abreu in this scenario, right? Unless you flipped Schwarber to another AL team.
