November 29, 20214 yr for those with lives: we have been getting hourly leaks to NY reporters on how darn hard Steve Cohen is trying to land max. Other rumors: that LAD are pessimistic. No one else seems to have Jon Heyman on speed dial.

November 29, 20214 yr Everyone thought having Cuban own the White Sox would be fun. But this kind of spending is like late 70's and 80's Yankees, Steinbrenner in his prime. It's got to be tremendously demoralizing to those bottom 6-8 MLB franchises who have essentially been reduced to feeder or relegation status...like the A's, Pirates, Royals, Orioles and Diamondbacks.
November 29, 20214 yr I mean I live in Western NY so most of my friends are Yankees or Mets fan, so I’ve always gravitated Mets as my “local” secondary follow because fuck the Yanks, but like lol Mets seems to be a reoccurring fucking theme going on for a while now. Fun to see them get an owner to throw money around but as we’ve seen they still have been lol Mets with the GM search and players who have left. Entertaining circus interesting to watch.

November 29, 20214 yr not saying this won't happen but kinda weird we heard it was at the finish line last night then nothing yet. Still have a feeling he's waiting out to see if a WC teams swoops in and matches the deal

Still have a feeling he's waiting out to see if a WC teams swoops in and matches the deal Yeah, I think he got the mets to max bid and the mets know no one else is near, and he's looking longingly at Arte Moreno hoping he can get him close enough to stay in LA.
November 29, 20214 yr I never thought the Sox were actually in on Scherzer, so I'm not bummed out. Just please at least get Conforto.

November 29, 20214 yr I thought Scherzer would easily get 3 years and 100+ million. I didn't think he'd get 3 years and $130 million though. Cohen really wanted Scherzer.
