I still think incarcerated bob is full of shit

If anything, I think this move is a good thing. It shows that they believe in Collins to stick at catcher long term. That is way more important than freaking out about one year of James McCann as the backup catcher.

This thread is as SoxTalk as it gets. Everyone freaking out about a backup catcher who is nothing but a one year placeholder. Chill.

The stove is HOT.

I'm loving all the recruiting attempts Sox players are making.

Those guys are probably the 2 most reputable and respected insiders other than Ken Rosenthal. It's a really good sign.

Today, Jon Heyman said he thinks the Sox will get Harper and Jon Morosi thinks they'll get Machado. Things are looking up.

Imagine if someone that didn't know anything about baseball read this thread. A bunch of grown men freaking out about another grown man that wears tight pants and hits a ball with a stick.

There is no way you aren't Peavy.

Is anyone concerned about Merkin's tweets regarding this?

Carlos Santana is going back to Cleveland.

I don't think the Dodgers are that serious about Harper. They just added more salary by signing Joe Kelly last night.

Rightfully so. None of the starting pitchers on the market are worth overpaying for.

Beefing up the bullpen to take pressure off the rotation is exactly what the Sox should be doing. I hope they get both Familia and Ottavino.

LETS GO!!!!!!

PLEASE MAKE THIS HAPPEN RICK

I kinda feel like this has a chance to happen tomorrow.

I just wish this would come to a resolution already.

By all means I hope they do it, that would make it even harder for them to free up enough money to get Harper.

My understanding of it is that the Dodgers would essentially be "buying" prospects because they're taking on Bailey's salary. That is fine in of itself, but makes no sense if they're serious about Harper. They need to free up salaries if they want him, not acquire more dead money. Very strange.

Puig and Wood are making roughly 15 million next season. Bailey is making 23. So the Dodgers would be increasing payroll if that proposed deal happened. I don't get the reasoning behind that if they're serious about Harper.

People on here were talking about relocating the franchise to Portland this morning and now everyone is happy again. It changes so fast.

I don't know what to believe anymore.
