I sat through a 20-1, weekday May/June game against the Twins in a year we were supposed to be good. Definitely the worst for me. Also, Jake Peavy rejected a trade to the Sox that very day.

Not all of those are examples of what is being discussed here. Just the ones with the same day extension and the extension window before trade (Santana). The scenario is a 48-hour window like the Santana deal.

Yeah that's usually how it works. A deal contingent on extension. Theres only a couple of these I remember happening in the off-season.

You don't really see that happen mid-season. At least I can't remember a time. The only time I could ever see that allowed is if the negotiation window is over the all-star break and the player is off all 4 days.

It definitely doesn't happen mid-season for obvious reasons but off-season is possible for that type of move.

You could pick up the option and deal him. Or, in this proposed scenario, Garcia is a free agent after 19 so you keep Marte anyway.

Ah I thought it was Ron's idea originally months ago. My bad.

Of course Greg would be the one to agree with the idea of moving Tim to catcher.

Not everything is reported. Look at how how wide open our pen was. There's no way they didn't check on every reliever with past success, recent struggles.

You mean to tell me he'd want to pitch on the team that just won the world series? Crazy.

Who's to say they didn't try?

A CG might end up being an 8-inning loss.

Wow you've completely flipped in the matter of like 2 days.

He's the reason I refuse to buy anymore jerseys with a player's name on the back of it (unless it is a legend or HoF player: Beuehrle, Thomas, Konerko, anyone from 05 you can rationalize, etc.).

Alright Beckham backers, where ya at?

lol gotcha. It's a fun time down there.

There's only so much a coaching staff can do. If these guys are at the MLB level and don't know the fundamentals by now, they probably just aren't very good.

Yeah you have to. Check out Last of Us if you haven't played that one either.

SIU alum?

Why would that be a strike out with only one strike? I'd understand if there were 2 strikes.

You're talking to someone who is actually fine with them locking up Abreu. I know he likely wouldn't bring a lot back since 1B usually doesn't bring a haul.

Nope. Literally no one has suggested this.

So you're saying if he sucks and no one wants him, we should give him a multi-year deal? What's logical about that?

There's a reason why the phrase is called "catching lightning in a bottle."

WOW. Who's Mully going to work with?
