If the latest rumors are true about the Red Sox demanding two top-flight prospects from another team to take on Betts, Price, and all $123 million of their salaries, Betts isn’t going anywhere. https://www.espn.com/mlb/insider/story/_/id/28510783/rob-manfred-mistake-was-giving-sign-stealers-too-much-leeway But for the Rockies GM to come out and state that trading Arenado is now off the table, that was just stupid. It seems like he was trying to get interested teams to up their offers but he ended up pissing off Arenado instead. Now they pretty much have to trade him — Arenado also has an opt out in his contract after the 2021 season. Some of the Cardinals names being rumored were pretty good which makes me think the Cardinals weren’t really offering that much.

Arenado at 3B and Moncada at 2B or in RF would be obscene but it would cost too much money and too much talent.

Yes, force that trade to the Cardinals. This is good.

Agreed. I want to believe it but it just isn’t likely.

Well, that should help weed them out then. ?

We are a month away from ST games. If guys like Zobrist, Dozier, Maybin, Pillar, Pence, etc. want jobs, they are going to have to accept some modest sums.

King Felix to the Braves as a non-roster invitee. He will earn $1 million if he makes the team as a fifth starter. https://mobile.twitter.com/JonHeyman/status/1219383573561651201 All these veterans should be nice and cheap the closer we get to the start of spring training.

2 great games against putrid defenses.

I’ve got a hot take for you... they both suck at their jobs.

What about a QB that can’t throw?

This is key. They need to tank for one of these kids at some point but I have no faith the Bears will be smart enough to do it.

It could also simply be that Trubisky is bad and his game has been figured out. Remember what the Packers players said about making Trubisky throw the ball because he will lose the game?

Zobrist would be a better option than Yolmer because he could also play RF against lefties.

Nice to see the Packers were just frauds all along.

Zobrist has been a much better hitter in his career than Yolmer. You can argue he’s done in his old age but he likely won’t cost that much at all.

Yep, it’s embarrassing. Jimmy G cost a 2nd round pick. Pace wanted Adam Shaheen with that pick instead. Pace needs to be shown the door.

Nagy won’t win anything until the Bears draft a legit QB instead of another bust.

Mahomes is god.

When you have to make up stuff to defend a player, you are defending the wrong player. He’s bad. Has there even been any interest in him by any teams?

You are overrating his Gatorade dumping skills.

Can Dozier still play SS? If so, I would love this move. It would be nice to have a bench bat like his.

Huge props to TaylorStSox on this one if it materializes... or is MLB trying to cover it up for their golden boy? https://mobile.twitter.com/MikeDiGiovanna/status/1218321743296651265

I must’ve looked at an older scouting report. He looks to have great control in the minors (very low walk rate) but I thought he was cracking into the low 90’s. Pass.

Gotta try to grab this guy. Young, potential back of the rotation lefty with good minor league numbers and plenty of service time left... Padres designated LHP Nick Margevicius for assignment. http://www.thebaseballcube.com/players/profile.asp?ID=195371

Now we know where the Cardinals pixie dust comes from. Turning mediocre players into productive major leaguers for them.
