    That trade might go through on fantasy island. Baltimore is not going to give Gunnar Henderson away.

    Brock:

    I received the Pudge Fisk bobblehead. Thank you so much. It is awesome.

    I have to agree with you. He might hit some homers at Yankee Stadium so that could be good. Seems somewhat of a knee jerk reaction move. Signals that Casas won't be a factor unless he tears up AAA. Yoshida will be gone, along with Duran. Bauers/Contreras will split time between 1B and DH I would guess. Although, maybe Contreras gets traded while his value is high but that wouldn't seem to be a good move to lose a power bat when they have so few.

    Get ready for a long lock out. Nothing is going to happen after December 1st until the summer.
  5. Tedballgame
    All this talk about 2027 is pure fantasy because there will not be baseball in 2027. The lockout will last a long time until the players agree to some sort of salary cap. Book it, Dano!

    Sonny is gone baby gone. He is a midwest guy and will sign with a midwest or midsouth team, like the Braves or Reds.

    Sonny was great this past season. He gave it his all and was a key part of the Sox making the post season. I don't blame him for wanting to pitch close to home if thats what he wants. I don't think being pulled early in his last start will be the difference but it certainly won't help convince him to return. The Sox will really have to over pay to keep him and I don't see JH doing that. So long Sonny. It was nice having you here.

    Nate was a decent AAAA player who did some good things. I hope he can stick with the A's.

    Shane Drohan unable to close out World Series for Brewers.

    Its obvious to anyone who watched the Yankees series that Tolle and Gray were both taken out too early. Managers used to manage based on experience and feel. Now its predetermined by some nerd geek who probably never played baseball.

    Brezlow has made some very good trades and a few not so good trades. I still like the Adley trade. He is a solid catcher who will hit in Fenway. The prospects the Sox traded haven't done anything yet. Even the guys traded for Crochet, the best has been Meidroth and he was a fringe prospect that nobody cared about when he was traded. Teel has been injured most of his career and has hit in the low .200's as has Braden Montgomery. Winkleman is no longer with the White Sox.

    I also thought at the time that trading Tibbs was a mistake. May was not going to help at all. They got Durbin in the Harrison trade so that wasn't all bad especially with their depth of left handed pitchers at the time of that trade. The biggest mistake of last off season was not signing Alonso because there is no one like him available this winter.
  13. Tedballgame
    Hendriks, Sandoval, Buehler, Giolito and Campbell were all terrible deals. 150 million down the drain. Chapman deal was great. Gray and Contreras trades were very good. Suarez signing is good, I think. Crochet trade was good. Bello (to some extent) and Rafaela extensions were good. Anthony's extension may work out but he has to stay on the field and get much tougher.
  14. Tedballgame
    2028 will have over 41 million freed up from Story and Yoshida. Thank goodness.
  15. Tedballgame
    We can talk all about next season but there is a very good chance that there is no next season. The owners want a salary cap. Baseball needs a salary cap. The players do not want a salary cap since they have been making millions because of stupid owners paying outlandish salaries to bums. There WILL be a lockout and it will be long. Better find something to do next summer.
  16. Tedballgame
    Yes, he still can be a great player but he has to stay healthy. As Bill Belichick said, "The greatest ability is availability".
  17. Tedballgame
    He also formerly played for Cincy
  18. Tedballgame
    St. Louis and Cincy are both close to Tennessee. Ideal spots for him. Low pressure cities that don't criticize players like the Boston press.
  19. Tedballgame
    I said take a long look at him. I didn't say they have to marry him. Maybe he makes a comeback, maybe not. Doesn't cost them anything to look.
  20. Tedballgame
    The Sox lineup was not good enough to beat Schlittler or Fried so Contreras' defense had little to do with the loss. You have to be able to score 4-6 runs in a playoff game to win unless you have Bob Gibson pitching for you.
  21. Tedballgame
    Gray is not coming back after last night unless they completely overpay him, which we know they won't. He is a midwest guy. I could see him going back to the Reds or Cardinals. The lineup just doesn't have one bat that teams fear which is where the Sox really blew it by not signing Alonso. There isn't a FA bat like that out there this off season. Next year is going to be just like this year. 85-88 wins, a wild card, and an early exit. Maybe when Story and Yoshida are off the books they can spend on some bats. I hate to say it but they have to give Casas a long look in ST. Power bats are hard to find and he could hit 30 if he gets his head out of his a$$.
  22. Tedballgame
    Well, thats the game.
  23. Tedballgame
    Sox bats are on ice.
  24. Tedballgame
    Someone has to come through don't they?
  25. Tedballgame
    Rodney wasn't doing it because of a transmitter. They didn't have them then. He looked stupid. Its just a bad look.
