That kinda seems like a thing. Now you wait for word from other interested clubs.

 

Bingo.

Josh is great and the twitter rant was warranted. Sox front office has not deserved benefit of doubt and the incoherence of a their actions means we put more importance on their words.

The new CBA, which caused the delay of most MLB movement, was signed a few days ago. The Winter Meetings have just begun. It's way too early to freak out about inaction. I agree whole heartedly that the FO does not have the benefit of the doubt, but the key stretch of the MLB offseason has barely begun.

Come on Boston, blink you SOBs

This is probably a sox leak to get Boston, Houston or someone else to bump the bidding.

They have us right where we want them!

That's exactly what it is, now hopefully we get some juicy nuggets before the inevitable "Nats moving on from Sale" leak.

I hope there are a lot of final pieces.

Oh snap.

Here we go! Hahn needs to go straight to DD & Luhnow and say top this Nationals offer in the next 30 minutes or we're accepting it. And honestly, he shouldn't be afraid to accept if those teams don't move quickly. Robles & Giolito is a great pair of headliners and fair alternative to guys like Benintendi & Bregman IMO.

I know people are in love with Boston and Houston prospects, but Giolito and Robles is nothing to sneeze at. Im fully on the Robles train though.

So...one of the best pitchers in the game on the best contract in the game for...2 pitching prospects?

 

Am I missing something? That seems horrendous unless both of those prospects become 1/2 level instantly when they hit the majors.

Man I hope there is a couple more top 100 prospects in that deal

Robels is an OF.

Robles is not a pitcher.

 

You're now my new BFF. Love that Batman movie and Jack.

Ah stupid google summary said "Robles, a 19-year-old righty..." who phrases a hitter like that.

He's my favorite joker. Remember watching that movie when I was a kid. Was scary but also very funny. That's the tell tale of a good movie.

 

But him dancing to the Prince songs was awesome.

We better trade Quintana for more hitting after this

Garfien: deal not close.

Nats are making strong progress on Sale. Been working on it all day. They have clear lead.

Oh he's the absolute best. What a fabulous movie and to think Tim Burton doesn't even think it's that good.

Asked a source if a Sale trade to the Nationals was close. His answer was "no."
