Squirmin' for Yermin

MIND. BLOWN.

Looks good. We just have no leadoff hitter whatsoever even if we signed both guys.. Maybe try to take Dee Gordon from the Mariners and plug him in CF. I honestly don't know how he did there last year when the mariners moved him out there.

1. James Shields (I mean we traded Tatis for him..) 2. Gordon Beckham (He just teased us more than a stripper) 3. Adam Larouche (That whole situation was just weird) 4. Avisail Garcia (I expected so much) 5. Adam Dunn (Super nice and respectable guy... but my god)

What time is his meeting today? Do we expect there to be rumors/leaks?

1. Frank Thomas 2. Jermaine Dye 3. Mark Buehrle 4. Paul Konerko 5. Carl Everett

Yeah, I predicted he would sign for 325-350

Good thing it's nice weather today. If it was a shitty 10 degrees I'm sure that could hurt your chances as dumb as that seems

He isn't leaving 300million on the table. No way he takes a short offer

How did we rush him? The Red Sox had him in the majors the year before........ That narative is just wrong and doesn't make any sense. I award you 0 points and may god have mercy on your soul

I think they want Grandal regardless of if they get Harper/Machado. If they miss on Harper I think they sign Brantley

If Dodgers can trade Wood and an OF we can say goodbye to Harper.

I tend to agree........ HOWEVER most prospects don't fail as badly as they did AND THEN turn it around to be what they were expected to be.

Pitching market is going fast.. Batters are not

You do know he is one of the better defensive catchers.......

I vote to ban you until Harper and Machado sign now..

Anyone have any guys they'd love to take in the draft? Also how does the MiLB rule 5 work? That's how we got Mercedes if I remember correctly? How are you eligible for that draft?

I never cared about ages of a RP. I think they're volatile regardless of age and feel like many grandpa's continue pitching well in RP role. So I don't mind pursuiong 30+ year old RPs even if we aren't contending next year

There is no way Dee Gordon would pass through waivers LOL

If he gets nontendered he would be a guy I'd like to have a meeting with

Yeah.. I think the overally consensus of that trade was disappointed.

Today will be a very interesting day! Finally some interesting action will happen. When is the Rule 5 draft?

My top 10 are as follows: 1. Eloy 2. Kopech 3. Cease 4. Robert 5. Madrigal 6. Dunning 7. Gonzalez 8. Rutherford 9. Hansen 10. Basabe

Goodness he NEVER and i mean NEVER strikes out.. Maybe this is for a good leadership presense for the young guys (Moncada and Anderson) to learn from.. Maybe like Bryant learned from Zobrist

I agree I don't really want Corbin for 25 mil a year. However, he was a super top prospect at one time, had good seasons prior to TJ and had an amazing season this year both in normal stats and even better in newer stats like FIP and xFIP. The only way this makes sense is if the Sox truely believe he is someone who is a "late bloomer" like Kluber, Hill and many others. If they think his arm can hold up with all those sliders and that he can produce than I'll trust the org.

Ew. Kyle Seagar hasn't ever lived up to his potential. He never really grew from his first full year. Hard pass.
