December 6, 20196 yr The long arc of my baseball fandom has somehow arrived at me appreciating the hell out of how Brian Cashman runs one of the most gifted yet difficult franchises in sports. Red Sox have benefitted from being able to pull foot off the gas more and ended up with a greater two decade run, but he has dealt with this about as well as you can.
December 6, 20196 yr I see we still have a “Cole to Angels” based on a bullshit, nonsense tweet topic instead of a “Gerrity Cole” topic. Great.

I think it's pretty clear in sports that you have to lose to win. The 90s Braves aren't possible anymore.

December 7, 20196 yr Passan tweeted earlier that teams like the Yankees and LAA are ready to give their “initial offers” at the winter meetings. So no offers have even been formally extended according to him.
December 7, 20196 yr He’s going to get paid so much. Yanks and angels are both all in on him. I can’t wait to see the final contract

I can’t wait to see the final contract It’s interesting to see the big franchises that land top players often take the tact of letting it be publicly known they value the players worth instead of undercutting it and constantly trying to make sure everyone knows they don’t want to spend too much.
December 8, 20196 yr Imagine how cool it would be if the White Sox had an owner who’ll do “Whatever it takes”.

December 8, 20196 yr When Obama is part of the new ownership group In three years will people be "thanks Obama!" When they miss out on high profile FAs?
