I would guess the 100 million dollar offer is from the White Sox, but who knows?

second that motion.. it has sox written all over it.  agent leaks to media for leverage

Replacing the Despaigne/Covey/Santana/Detwiler hydra of doom with wheeler is, what, a 6-7 win improvement?

I think we need a thread title change for good luck.

Lets just hope this is the last year in at least half a decade where we straight up run out of starting pitchers.

That makes sense without even using WAR/advanced stats. Say Wheeler makes around 30 starts and we win about 18 of those games (rough estimate). How many of the starts by those four guys did we win last year?  Around 11 or 12?  Sounds about right.

WHOSE MANS IS THIS

Well can we wait until it happens

We are overdue for some fake insider tweets. Who's on that?

If they do not sign an unprecedented contract (as far as the Sox are concerned) for a starting pitcher this offseason then I do not know what they are doing.

I think our offer is just below $100M and this is an agent leak to try to get us to up the offer.

did i do this right

 

what I mean that the sox are the one who offered.  Just gut feeling becuase that is how they operate.

there not going more than 100 on  a pitcher. Pressuring him to sign.  agent uses media as leverage.

no fake tweets here just offering subtle opinion

No. Only post fake insider leaks if it meshes with my preferred White Sox narrative.

I get the feeling the Twins are holding this whole thing up

Wheeler wanted to get this resolved before the winter meetings - this has been reported by a few - yet the Twins haven't even met with him or submitted a formal offer. Maybe the price was out of their range already.

I don't see the Reds going that high.  Their staff is already pretty good and they need SS and an OF still.

I can. 

I agree with the logic too. Wheeler is a better pitching acquisition than Didi or Castellanos are hitting acquisitions.

THOUGH, castellanos at cinci's stadium is some whiplash.

I do not see or hear anything at this point showing the Sox as Wheeler's destination. Plan B.

Sorry to bring it back around to this but the Twins not having met with Wheeler just reminds me of the Padres not having met with Machado last offseason.
