Red Sox sign James Paxton I say this every year, but he'll be great if he's healthy.

If there is a long lock out, we won’t even have a steroid induced home run chase to bring fans back!

The Yankees are bring back Sanchez. I can't stand Cashmen. He refuses to admit mistakes, just move on already. Do you all understand how many bad catchers are in the MLB?

Yeah, the catcher free agent market is terrible this year and if there's any trades to be made, well, they're not going to happen for months because of the pending lockout. Gary Sanchez is their best option right now, which tells you how sorry the market is.

I get you have to get people in the stands but why would you go full fire-sale one season then turn around and sign a marquee free agent to your terrible young team?

So once the cubs were out of it the office went "may as well get something since its clear all 3 song be returning" Javy signed for less than what the cubs offered, be curious what Bryant and Rizzo wind up signing for compared to what the cubs offered. The Ricketts are still carnies though and spent this one time, but most of the MLB season they will do various Legends Nights like WWE does when ratings are down. They will trot Kerry Wood and Ryan Dempster out onto the field to wave at the fans to sell tickets and be done with it.

Lockout is now imminent after the last talk ended after 7 minutes.

I mean, you still need Vets on the team and he shouldn't cost them an arm and leg Add on the fact he can be traded since no one expects them to be good and it didn't cost them any picks to sign him

The Cubs are not the Royals. They are a Uber popular team in a major market. Five+ year re-boots should be the exception, not te rule. They can afford to do both. Add to the team now, while also building for the future. Under no circumstance should they ever have a bottom ten payroll. And that’s where the we’re headed. They basically have no money committed past 2023. So they absolutely can afford a big contract or two. When the lockout is over I hope they’re in on Correa. They probably won’t compete next year. But there’s no reason thay can’t be competitive in 2023 and beyond.

And you have to start somewhere You need to bridge a gap and ideally, Stroman would still be apart of the winning teams when that time comes around

Manfred is a f***ing clown.
Who knew he had the balls to do that?
