But if they thought being cute and creative signing friends was a substitute for providing the cash required to land a once-every-few years prized free agent...that's bad.

That is exactly why judging these acquisitions now is pointless, especially that they won't matter with the big picture / trajectory of the club. #2020

Anyone else find it odd that Hahn didn’t have any comments about Herrera?

Upgrading the software didn’t require name changes - so I’m confused ?

If you changed your name before the new software you got your old-orignal name back with the software update.  FACT.

Say what you want, this is the exact rumor this board needed tonight.

Does Adam Engel have options left

I will say it. You don’t make this move unless you know Manny is signing.

I guess a Jay/Engel platoon could work:

LF - Eloy

CF - Engel/Jay

RF - Harper

Tilson is probably a goner if this happens.

FIXED.

At this point this is going to look ridiculous if we don't get Manny but are employing all his friends.

So when we do evaluate the best cities to cheat on your wife in, and how JR is too cheap to do it better?

NYC has nothing on these Chicago bottle rats.

Correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't Shane saying it coming off the BOGUS rumor of Reinsdorf and Machado watching the Bears game together?

I've been following Shane for a while, funny guy but does not appear to have any sources.

My first year I stayed near Glendale.. consider that a mistake, like others said, stay in the Mesa/Tempe/Scottsdale area for outside of game activities and proximity to other parks.

Could you send me a link to this rumor he posted? I can't find him in the search bar.

He said Sox like their chances with Harper.

Also said, Cubs are not a threat don't believe media reports.

 

EDIT: fixed.

Now the FOX sports report has been deleted.  May the games continue.

[Machado signs with Padres 10/300]

Yeah I don't buy signing is imminent.  Either tweet the eyeballs or don't. Cmon BRUV

While we're all dreaming about Harper and Machado both ending up on the South Side, has anyone considered what the lineup would look like if both of them were in it?

What do you expect them to divulge? Lol

Nothing but GUFF is on there figured he might clarify his comments/tweets.

But what if the issue is that Hahn and Kenny fall into this category also?

You think Hahn is bored of the rebuild? No man, you gotta give him more credit than that.  If whales don't pan out they will stay course.  He knows opportunity presented itself and they are trying to take advantage.  He's been preaching sustained success.
