That said, clearly this isn’t getting resolved soon. More likely the deals that have been rehashed as nauseum. Winter meetings: Monday: "The Phillies have traded Zach Wheeler and Andrew Vaughn for Michael Kopech" Tuesday: "The Phillies would like to introduce their new General Manager Rick Hahn". Cubs got away with it right?

December 6, 20205 yr 1 hour ago, Look at Ray Ray Run said: It was 7 million dollars. You acting like thats the same as me taking 100k instead of 106k is hilarious. Closer to family smh. These guys are on road 1/2 the year. They live elsewhere in off seasons. Their wives travel with them the entire time too?

If the trade for Lynn is headlined by Steiver or someone lesser, and you add one or preferably two of the high end relievers on the market, and I'll take that offseason. It's not the best offseason, but not the worst, either.
December 6, 20205 yr No idea where to put this and obviously coming from Cishek there needs to be a high degree of skepticism, but for the sake of conversation:

No idea, but kind of shitty he throws out names left and right, but then says something vague like this. Even fake insiders should have some integrity!

December 6, 20205 yr 2 minutes ago, Chicago White Sox said: Are you talking about Harper? Yes. Harper's AAV is 25.3M. The contract has 11 years left. Jerry is 85. He probably doesn't have to worry about the last few years. Or at least, he shouldn't. Edited December 6, 20205 yr by Jack Parkman

I thought it was said that Jerry owns enough of the team that if he was gone, the group is selling. IIRC there is no majority owner with the Sox ownership group but I do believe that Jerry owns a significant plurality. Like greater than 30% and possibly slightly over 40%. Nobody knows for sure.

I think Lynn and Tanaka are similar pitchers. Cause if there’s one thing Jerry loves to spend money on, it’s pitchers with current elbow issues.
