Certainly better than the status quo. I assume the price on Meadows was too high since Portillos said they were checking in on him again. I'm glad they did something at least.

This...but since they are massive douchebags its to be expected at this point.

In the words of the great American philosopher John Madden: "Boom"

They didn't learn a damn thing. They were already sending out state media yesterday to write shit about how it could happen to anyone in the field even though Vaughn totally lacks the range and athleticism for the position and he is going to have to dive to make plays other real OFers could make without incurring those risks. The fact that Pravda on 35th was out in full force should tell you that the team remains firmly entrenched in its tone deaf echo chamber of delusion. Penny wise and pound foolish remains the order of the day.

That's not bad at all. Hopefully we learned our lesson not to play 1B in RF. Address the fucking position and stop playing games.

Maybe if he's out a few weeks they can use this as an excuse to keep him in the minors for a few weeks to "work out the rust and work on OF defense" when he comes back to get that extra year back. /reaching for a positive

A part of Jack Parkman just died.

He's at least a real OFer rather than trotting out a 1B in the OF. Obviously we don't care about defense anyway so might as well add a good LH bat.

This. Even like a terminal hip necrosis or whatever would be met with shit like "well this is why we resigned the Legend." They'll strain their AC joint patting themselves on the back for resigning UT players when TOR are signing and trading for killer savages. FML

But they're not gonna move him until they get something or at least have the other team eat all the money to save face. They're praying some team gets hit with major bullpen injuries meanwhile we still have huge holes they haven't addressed. F your pride FO, get him off the damn roster ASAP.

Now Boras has all the leverage

Ok something to chew on...

After reviewing it further you are correct.

Ugh....you're right. I went on baseball trade values and Lux was worth 15.5m. Kimbrel was -1 and 6m of cash is net of 5m. Still 10m short.

We are all talking about Bellinger but since independent analysts seem to be confirming that there is good reason for those fluff pieces about Colas and since the Sox are still fixated on financial/budget issues why don't we just pivot to Lux. He should be more affordable than Bellinger. He also makes no money, has a ton of control, and could play 2B/RF (depending on where Vaughn is placed) and is LH and has no place to play in the loaded LAD lineup. Send them Kimbrel and 6-7m and maybe like a Dahlquist or something.

Someone should mail him some kneepads. He could use it for how often he sucks ownership/FO off. I get that it's his job but it still pisses me off. And the smugness and attitude is disgusting.

I agree.....at the very least they should have gotten a 1 yr LHH bridge player with power like Joc. It was only 6m. And that was the bare minimum to address the need but they still stepped on their own dick and couldn't even do that. Fucking pathetic

Ofcourse, prolly early 2023 if he keeps developing once they secure the extra year.

As to RF, Keith Law had some good things to say about Colas. He's been watching backfields games and said Colas is doing well in High A games with plus power and arm. Could be a fast riser. He also liked Ramos alot.

Canes win!!!

Is Chicago still interested?

1 yr deal makes sense for both parties. Conforto isn't getting a 5/100 deal with a bunch of opt outs. Give him a year to rebuild his value in a HR friendly park for LHH and with alot of lineup protection. Gives us a bridge to give Colas a year in the minors that addresses our needs. Give him a million more than QO so they can save face and recoup some savings with Kimbrel trade.

He speaks the truth.

He will need to shed one of those bad OF contracts first. Also, if they are going the one year opt out route to rebuild value, I'm not sure Boras will want his client playing in that park.
