I was mostly referring to the Burnes rumor that has been spreading both here and on Twitter, but I get the sense that they're looking to move him for any #3 or better & controlled SP. But I guess if I had to guess, it would be Burnes

That's why I'm kind of skeptical about that deal, because it seems like it's not enough. At the same time, it's tough for me to think of a realistic target that makes more sense

Bad in the sense they’re unreasonable to expect a madrigal centered trade to be enough to compel the Brewers to trade the vastly more valuable Burnes or Woodruff I have to assume you mean.

He means trading important players from the major league roster or top prospects for a player whose equal is available in free agency for only money.
January 21, 20215 yr Matt Spiegel noted a rumored target date to allow partial fan attendance into Chicago stadiums is August 1, 2021. Im assuming Jerry will push for an July 23 or 30 MLB Opening Day and have the Sox open on the road, and an August 2 home opener if that is the case. Edited January 21, 20215 yr by South Side Hit Men

I get he has potential and we might make a trade even up for a Vaughn type. No way are we making 3 or 4 to 1 trades for a #4 rotation piece. Frankly...I would prefer Mike Leake and give up nobody.

They are saying vaccines should be available to all the public by April, I'd bet they start allowing fans in by June

Sometimes it's called for but JR isn't the devil, he just rather make money than lose it ,rather than do what it takes to win a World Series. 2005 just reinforced Jerry's belief that it can be done with a little money and a lot of luck.
January 31, 20215 yr Hard to believe the Sox will be working out in Anaheim two months from today, but nothing has changed yet. Hope the season is a go!

There may also be additional players who want to train / attend as well, but cannot due to MLB’s facility access protocols. 1 hour ago, aeichhor said: Has there been a report of an agreement between MLB and the Players Association regarding COVID training protocols? Otherwise, these players are among the exceptions to restrictions issued by MLB on January 5th. https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/mlb/columnist/bob-nightengale/2021/01/05/mlb-threatens-discipline-for-teams-violating-facility-access-protocols/4142122001/ MLB informed clubs in their memo sent Monday that only three categories of players may access their facilities before the start of spring training: Players who have a permanent residence proximate to their facilities. Players who require entry to the facility to receive medical care. Players who have been approved to attend a club-organized mini-camp under the terms of the Basic Agreement

Arizona is the worst state for Covid weekly case rates in the US. I think we will see an agreement for at least a month delay within a few days.
February 3, 20215 yr It was a weird feeling last year watching the last spring training game or two, knowing some sort of shutdown was coming. Little did we know it would change everything. I equate those last few games with the end of life as we knew it. Now we'll get to watch the spring training games knowing there's light at the end of the tunnel. I'm actually pretty positive about the future. I think we'll see limited attendance early in the season (May?) and close to full capacity by late August/early September. And we'll look back at spring training 2021 as when things really started to look better.
