QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Dec 7, 2016 -> 09:40 PM) I think something will happen tomorrow Hahn did say he'd like to hold press conferences 3 or 4 days in a row.... Halfway there but the winter meetings are basically over.

QUOTE (TRU @ Dec 7, 2016 -> 09:35 PM) It is uncharted territory, but I still find it hard to believe they will ever sign the 7 year 20-25 per kind of guys under JR.. He just doesn't do it.. I'm with you, it's just Sox baseball is about to get weird so I'm not willing to rule anything out going forward. I'm not sure what value precedence holds when it's currently being disrupted.

QUOTE (kwill @ Dec 7, 2016 -> 09:31 PM) What happend to Jose Bautistas market? I mean damn the guy will be lucky to get 3/50. 36 years old, coming off a down year, lacks any positional flexibility, looking to get PAID, competing on the market with an arguably superior teammate.

QUOTE (TRU @ Dec 7, 2016 -> 09:23 PM) Ill believe it when I see it We're kinda entering unchartered territory here, with basically no financial commitments, a young, cheap core and for the first time ever a kind of real soft cap, it makes sense that big dollars could be committed, where else are they going to spend the next two years?

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Dec 6, 2016 -> 08:27 PM) I guess the poster doesn't realize bizarro is opposite haha Personality wise, like in the Sealab sense. Same dude with the exception of how they carry themselves which is total opposite.

Kopech is like the bizarro Syndergaard.

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Dec 6, 2016 -> 12:11 AM) Things are good. How are things with you. Interesting times ahead no matter what. I'm doing well, good to hear you are as well, contemplating my place in this selective universe. Definitely interesting.

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Dec 6, 2016 -> 12:07 AM) I dont know whats more entertaining the actual trade banter or the panic screams from the tin foil hats. OMG HE WENT 0-4 IN HIS FIRST GAME. CUT HIM. How are things?

QUOTE (Real @ Dec 6, 2016 -> 12:02 AM) well the s***ty responses are based on what little information we have from Heyman/Sherman/Nightengale/Merkin tweets. It's midnight on the first night of winter meetings, just control your expectations for half sec and show a modicum of patience.

Personally, I believe the most prudent move is to freak the f*** out right now and jump to every s***ty conclusion. This will lead to maximum enjoyment of hot stove season!

QUOTE (DirtySox @ Dec 5, 2016 -> 08:52 PM) Scott Merkin ‏@scottmerkin 47s48 seconds ago Maryland, USA If Sale is eventually traded, today, next few days, next few weeks, you start thinking how deep on the roster the rebuild could run Trade it all! I'm liking what the team mouthpiece is selling of late.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Dec 5, 2016 -> 08:46 PM) Yep, this puts the gauntlet down for other teams. Now do they step up with their #1 guys? Tweaking DD for Moncada/Benintendi.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Dec 5, 2016 -> 08:38 PM) This is a leverage play. Also, without seeing entire offer, hard to say this would be settling. The headliners are strong and plausible with a system capable of a full trade with good depth, its why the Nats are a very good team to be working right now to both finalize a deal and spark a bidding war.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Dec 5, 2016 -> 08:37 PM) I don't get why we're settling. We should have the leverage. This is a leverage play.

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Dec 5, 2016 -> 08:30 PM) I like Chuck, but Rosenthal is the best in the business. The funny thing is the Rosenthal/Heyman reports are clearly direct Sox leaks to induce bidding so either Garfein has a very truthful, lower level source or a bad one.

QUOTE (Jenksy Cat @ Dec 5, 2016 -> 08:25 PM) So...one of the best pitchers in the game on the best contract in the game for...2 pitching prospects? Am I missing something? That seems horrendous unless both of those prospects become 1/2 level instantly when they hit the majors. Robles is not a pitcher.

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Dec 5, 2016 -> 08:20 PM) This is probably a sox leak to get Boston, Houston or someone else to bump the bidding. That's exactly what it is, now hopefully we get some juicy nuggets before the inevitable "Nats moving on from Sale" leak.

That kinda seems like a thing. Now you wait for word from other interested clubs.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Dec 5, 2016 -> 06:41 PM) Josh Nelson of SSS is really salty right now about Hahn's comment being in a rebuild because Hahn won't come out and flat say that we're rebuilding Unfollowed him not long after the Twins signed Castro, fairly certain I won't regret it, dude has some weird ass hangups and opinions.

i hate this game i hate this game i hate this game i hate this game

I'm just so glad to have Jay back, games are so much more palatable with him around. The turnovers will come but at least it'll be entertaining, he was throwing bullets last night, so refreshing.

QUOTE (fathom @ Oct 31, 2016 -> 07:46 PM) Gruden criticizing Alshon after a bad pass it looked like to me. Agreed? Didn't look like he put much effort into catching the ball and given the way he's played since then I'm inclined to believe this is the case. He's playing like dog s***.

That was some really impressive speed and athleticism from Floyd, had him lined up on the inside and looped around, Fangio should be able to have fun with him.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Oct 20, 2016 -> 08:13 PM) careful what you wish for... That didn't take long. I guess the unknown/terrible could be interesting? Sucks for Hoyer, though, looks real bad.

QUOTE (Brian @ Oct 20, 2016 -> 04:31 PM) I'm piling on but does anyone have an Amazon Echo? Looking at the cheaper version. I love mine, use it daily for music/podcasts, news/weather, control my Philips Hue lights and it's the best alarm clock you can own. Only problem is these f***ing Echo commercials they're running on the TNF Twitter broadcast keep triggering it.
