I think atleast like what the NBA and NFL do....a short period where teams can legally "tamper" might get the ball moving a little bit more. Then have a hard deadline to get the signings going the first few days. It doesn't seem like there's really any need for the Winter Meetings.

Ok cool.

Indeed. It's a tad bit frustrating atleast optically MLB seems to be dragging it's feet when it comes to progressing the game. As far as the news getting spread out over time. I'm not sure if that helps anyone but the die hard fan to be honest.

God I hate this response so much. It's the "if you don't like the way we do things here then get out of our country!" response. Just because you want some things to change doesn't mean you can't enjoy it when it is happening. Baseball needs to change alot.

That's what I was saying. Say this drags out until January. How is that helpful for baseball? The Wildcard games will still dominate the news.

I dont think it does actually. Say Harper signs during NFL Playoffs...who do you think is wining there on ESPN?

Speed the process up for the sports health. I think what happens alot of time especially with baseball is the exciting news comes at the wrong time when playoffs in other sports are going on. December is almost perfect for them to win a ton of headlines/attention.

I think what we've learned from these past few offseason is that the MLB needs deadlines. Not only does the game drag on but so does the offseason. A high profile free agent like Harper should have been signed already and the team would now be preparing for the "down time".

What we should be doing is fleecing the Dodgers with them trying to offload contracts.

Not really...unless he wants to win immediately. Potentially this team could win for alot of years.

well....

No shoes no shirt no dice

You had me at hire Jim Boylen. They'll be running sprints after every game.

I agree but I don't hate Rick. He doesn't give the middle finger to the fans. Both of those assholes in the Bulls front office do.

The best part about the Bulls is they cant use the "we've made the playoffs the past few years" as an excuse. Now they just plain suck and ontop of it they are a laughing stock.

Yeah Rick isn't on that level yet. Gar and Pax should have been fired years ago and their attitude makes everyone hate them.

Wait for the prospects and turn up the heat on Rick.

He sucks defensively. Sucks is being nice.

Well yes to that and I hate ICB.

He gave up 25 runs in the outfield. Zero is about the median.
