30M AAV and an opt out after 5 years and they can’t beat that?!?!? I’m generally one to realize business is business, and I’m not a “rick/Kenny/jerry sucks” guy ..... but this flat out blows. Hard to support our FO after this

Here's a possibility I haven't heard anyone mention: what if Moncada playing 3B is so that they can offer Manny SS as a final enticement? (What would happen to TA? I have no idea.) And, NO, I'm not saying I like that idea but we are in White Sox bizarro world now, so who knows.

Valentine's Day is always a great day to find out you're someone's safety net.

No really, I’m positive I like beer

I like beer

The red is Rawlings logo color

Yep. And then agents complain about smaller market teams choosing to pare back for a rebuild.

Option C - Elvis returns

No I meant actual good ones.

When was that?

Don’t disagree at all. My point is just that fans change their opinion more than a bit when the jerk starts playing for the team you root for. (see Rodman, Dennis)

Ask Aaron Boone or Ben Zobrist if they think it was just theatrics. Or it would be interesting to hear Justin Morneau's take on when AJ ..... yes ... ran inside the line down to first and took a shot at Morneau's heel. (hmmm, sounds familiar) I enjoyed AJ when he was on the Sox but truth is he was a punk. A lot of revisionist history there.

We need Manny and Harper resolved soon. People are so bored that this site is bordering on unreadable lately because almost every thread turns into a pissing contest.

Does this mean Goose/AB is taking over all the beer around the park? I sure hope not.

Nope. Not at all.

If you play the White Album backwards it says "Brian Cashman pulled one over on everyone"

Zero Dark Manny

If J. Michael Robertson turns out to be total BS (99% certainty) I’ll still give the guy props. He says it’s a burner account, has people throwing out conspiracies that it’s a Reinsdorf, and his three follows are the Sox, Bulls, and Stadium. Most well thought out troll job I’ve ever seen, but I gotta admit, it would be epic if it turned out to actually be Jerry. Part of me actually hopes it is.

Don't take our fun away!

Yep. And if I'm the Sox, immediately after the announcement I'd have ticket reps walking around the room with tablets for people to buy tickets on the spot.

And Bruce Levine will be reporting that Manny got in for less than full price

If they somehow pulled off anything sneaky, I'm sure tomorrow most of us will look like Rowand when Pods hit that home run off of Brad Lidge --> "No. No way. No way!!"

Ah, good times ......

My sources say today will be boring and because of that there will be pointless arguments about which mediocre player is better. Or not.
