Superstar Lamar

Didn't Lynn also make some statements that he liked his move specifically because of Larussa?

I was skeptical this day would actually occur and am shocked that it occurred on time.

working for the Angels sounds like a party

real world realistic expectations for a guy who has never played above A ball is to spend the year in the minors realistic for this site is that he is a middle of the order hitter on playoff team

Rich Hill wouldn't be a bad addition if you were sure Kopech would eventually be in MLB in 2020

Finally, Jason Kinander was correct the Pederson is coming to Chicago

baseball is a game of inches

We were short one player whose first name begins with Y after letting Yolmer walk. Good to see they filled this need in the off season

the only way you get to leave JR is by firing or death

I seem to recall that sometime around the time of his signing his most recent contract that Quintana said he wanted to be in Chicago as his home even beyond baseball and that the extra money wasn't as important to him as being able to stay in this city.

Its a retroactive assessment that assumes a world series championship. There is no need for increasing the chances because it is a certainty. If a move was made and that move directly results in winning a world series, the move is justified. It's not specific to this situations

I think it would be funny and show a sign of good humor on both side's part if they introduced him at the press conference with a 1976 jersey bearing his name. Maybe even put a few patched up areas on it

A World Series Championship justifies everything. It's like the Chapman trade for the Cubs. I don't fault them for that.

settling all scores at once

I just want to bathe for a little while in the fact that we have the 5,6, and 7 vote getters in last year's Cy Young in our starting rotation.

I think that Brantley reveal was the most troubling news I have heard from the Sox this off season

and one of them thought so little of it that they took him back

but there was a glut of RF on the market. The Sox jumped the market to obtain the guy they obviously wanted. It was an affirmative move.

Remember when Reinsdorf cut the legs out of a deal between KW and Toronto. You only get to leave the Sox when JR allows it

and sometimes a person rumored to be a dbag just angered the wrong person Sox management had reason to hate him but they chose to reacquire him, with a rash of other possible RF available.

You see how people b**** when the Sox trade away any talent.

I wonder if this is the first time in the history of baseball that alliteratively named players were traded for each other.

Isn't Joc Pederson kind of douchey as well? I always thought of Eaton as just a little too intense rather than a bad guy. We could probably use a little more intensity. Anyway, this is a team where you better know some Spanish if you want to have any leadership impact. I could see the Cubans not even knowing what he is talking about and laughing at his frenetic pace.
