Orlando

Abreu extension is a sneaky A. The money is too much but it sends an amazing message to the young guys and impending free agents. The Sox will take care of those who give them their all.

His claim to being an “insider”

I hope it does. I hope the Twins have no time to pivot

This reminds me so much of the Sox pursuit of Machado. Hopefully the Twins lose out like the Sox did.

Crazy how long this has taken. Is there any precedent for a deal taking this long to go official? Could there be an issue?

Any minor moves with upside out there? For utility man, I like Dietrich

Anyone else have a strange feeling that Castellanos falls into the White Sox lap at their price?

https://www.star-telegram.com/sports/mlb/texas-rangers/article239006443.html "A club official rebuked a Money report that the Rangers met with free-agent outfielder Nick Castellanos and are a finalist to sign him. According to the official, the Rangers have not met with him, have not made him an offer and are not going to move Joey Gallo from right field to first base to accommodate Castellanos."

Hudson back with Nats

LOL out of curiosity, where does Robert fit in with this plan?

Morosi is still listing the White Sox as interested. He has the Rangers, Cubs, Chisox and Giants as interested.

Hill is out until June or July. Pineda is out until mid May, I think. Bailey is bad. But the Twins are great at turning garbage into gold. I just think this year the Sox are good enough to keep them at bay

Lol @ the twins signing Bailey and Hill to fill out their rotation. You just love to see it.

I remember hearing E. Diaz and Mazarra last deadline. They already have Mazarra so maybe the get Diaz as well.

Looked at the Twins depth chart and I don't know if there are even three positions that the Twins are better than the Sox. MAYBE a slight edge at SS, DH and CF. Also the Sox seem to have a better rotation.

Weren't the Sox rumored to be interested in Diaz at the deadline?

Sounds like a trade

Could this possibly be the reasons for conflicting reports? Maybe the Sox have reached out and expressed interest but Puig’s team is dragging their feet. Hence the “0 negotiations tweet” from Bruce.

Blue Jays have already announced Ryu. Why haven’t the Sox announced Kuechel?

Hector has been spot on guys. His only blemish is trusting Frank Castillo about a Ozuna and even those tweets always said “according to Frank Castillo”. If he’s saying the Sox are most interested, I’d believe him.

Edwin is gonna mash

I think Pence or Domingo Santana would be decent cheap options to platoon with Mazara
