I'd take that bet. I'll take the field of Odorizzi, Tanaka, Paxton, Quintana, Brett Anderson, Julio Teheran, Walker, and the rest of the bunch and you can take Musgrove. I like those odds.

I don’t disagree that could be the price. I would strongly advise the Sox not meeting that price. Maybe it’s not Q, maybe it’s not Tanaka. But I would put heavy money on the fact there are multiple FA pitchers currently available that will out-perform Musgrove over the next two seasons. It’s up to the Sox to figure out who those FA’s and may be and bring them in.

I would hope the Sox. That's one where I just don't understanding giving up an asset like Kelly for production that is 100% available on the open market and that doesn't have an outrageous cost. I'm fine with trading a Kopech, Vaughn, Kelly etc. for a foundational piece or someone to put this team over the top, make them the AL favorites. I don't think Musgrove comes close to that, and additionally I think someone like Tanaka or Quintana can come fairly close to matching the production Musgrove would provide. Just spend the money.

Oh fuck off Fathom...shit, you’re right.

And good on Marvel for taking a shot at something totally different. I assume Falcon and Winter Solider is going to be pretty straight forward, which is fine, but at nice to see them taking chances with different shows.

Feel like the villains are going to be AIM?

Not sure what the hell WandaVision was, but I didn’t hate it

Like...REAL bad. When I turned it on, I immediately said “What the hell is a Pius Suter?” It’s a terrible, terrible roster.

lol, that wasn't clear from 2k5. Yoan feels like Abreu was very deserving.

Teamwork, effort, facing adversity, culture……THESE ARE NOT THINGS FANS WANT TO HEAR ABOUT

They gave them 4-5 talking points to use, and just keep hammering them. The problem is the talking points are wrong. They are trying to protect themselves and gave zero thought to how this will play with the media. I just don't understand how franchises continue to get this wrong year after year.

The system is so broken. Colleen Kane asked George "What did you hear from Ryan and Matt that made you confident in keeping them? What was their plan?" He talked about how they communicated well, they like work together, they were well-spoken and strong in their convictions. How are George and Ted qualified to make these decisions? What do they know more than any of us about what the right plan is to take this team to a Super Bowl?

As expected, this presser from Ted and George is brutal.

I don't disagree on Nagy, especially with how they built him up when he was hired, the offensive mastermind. I don't know why, as Chicago fans, we continue to fall for it time after time.

I'd really, really enjoy hearing what was said/thought that Pace deserves a 7th year to try and win a playoff game.

Nothing changes at the top, Pagano is the scapegoat, and on and on the story goes.

I think the only way they cut him loose if he is just god awful in Year 3 (or was to suffer some terrible injury earlier) The money is going to have to be paid. And as others have mentioned, as morbid as it is....if Hendricks sucks and the Sox decide they don't even want him on the team in Year 4.....Jerry probably isn't paying him most of the money himself....he'll be 97 I believe when the payments to Hendricks would stop...

BIG YIKES

All fair points, Jas. They shouldn’t be done. They need a few more pieces. I think they could be minor/mid-level moves, don’t have to be top-tier FA’s, but this move shouldn’t be it....keep going.

Where would you like them to allocate those resources? Honest question.

Some people are just love being an Eeyore.

I like it. Sign a SP, maybe add one more bat like LaStella, call it an off-season.

Very interesting

Seems like that’s what it took to get the 3 years. Sox 100% beat out other teams for Hendricks.
