And Burr still has 2 options remaining.

Colome is gonna get torched in Coors.

Not thrilled with this. He's better than Mendick, but this better mean they have a good solution for RF.

Ginn was the Mets #5 prospect on MLB Pipeline's rankings for perspective.

I'd be thrilled with either.

Do people actually expect TLR to say "No." re: Kimbrel?

People need to step off the ledge. If LaRussa wants help, he’ll get it.

My Cubs fan friends are not too happy right now, haha

I think this is right on the money, assuming there isn't some sort of possible prospect swap with a Kimbrel return and/or Tony doesn't want him moved.

This is destroying the sport and there won't be a Sosa or McGuire to save it this time. What a complete embarrassment and clusterfuck all the way around.

Sounds to me like Ortiz might have some personal connections or interests in the whole buscones business.

He has some impressive power. Hit 8 HR's in just over 100 PA last season, hit 20 at AAA in 2019. No clue if he's decent behind the plate.

This was a fear of mine. Cease has the best stuff on the staff IMO.

I'm 32. I remember reading WSI back in high school, and was a long time lurker on this site. Finally came to my senses and joined this place once I realized how much better it was.

If Carson Fulmer is still getting shots, this guy might as well have a chance too ?

All conjecture. There is no way to prove that would actually come to fruition. They could just as easily line their pockets - only difference is they would be permanently bad.

Zero reason the 9th best team deserves the #1 overall pick. That system would end up permanently burring teams like the Pirates, Orioles, etc. Baseball needs to adopt similar methods that we see with other leagues. The lottery would be interesting for the top 5 or so picks. Also, allow picks to be traded. This one alone would prevent the need to tank a roster for years. The draft's purpose is to give bad/terrible teams a sense of hope for the future, not reward mediocrity or a "just not quite good enough" effort.

It would be pretty funny if a flurry of moves are made once the lockout is over.

So happy Minnie is finally in - should have happened years ago. Once of the nicest players I have ever met. You could tell how much he loved the game and the White Sox. Cannot believe that Allen continues to get screwed over.

Tim Anderson wasn't drafted as a 1B and shoehorned into SS. Vaughn is going to be a very good player... but at 1B, maybe LF. They need to keep him out of RF though if they plan on keeping Eloy in LF.

That game suffered from the rainout. The energy leaving Sunday night was electric. Had we all been back the next day I feel like the crowd would have been close to what we all experienced Sunday. Although I’ll be honest, I have never been more exhausted (and hung over) after a game than I was that Monday.

Can't participate in the FA Market when your boss is too busy Union-busting and conveniently misplaced his check book on November 28th!

I would be ok with Sonny Gray. Not sure what that deal would like like, he has a super reasonable deal so I’d expect there would be quite a few teams interested.

Stroman isn’t coming here. He’s said so last year he would never play for LaRussa.
