Winter Meetings Thread

And let's suspend your rights here if you do. Grow up you idiots.

Ouch. Rico, that's harsh. Not even Enscheff took it seriously. Also, I'm as old as you. At least chronologically. Betty White even invited me to join AARP last year.

Yeah he can call me a homo all he wants. I know it's just him being hopeful.

What a Neanderthal. Grow up

If we trade Teheran, Inciarte, Folty, and Albies, I would instantly go from a big fan of the FO to believing they should all be fired immediately. That would make us worse immediately.

Si. No bueno.

Chisox should be all over the Red Sox looking for a Sale for Moncada, Devers, Kopech deal. IF the Bosox wouldn't deal Moncada (and they might not since they have a huge financial investment tied up in him), then drop Moncada and add Groome and Basabe.

For a "win now" club like the Bosox, who also have virtually unlimited resources, Sale makes a lot of sense.

For the Braves, it would just be masturbation.

When they were talking about prospects and stuff, I was excited. When they want Swanson and Teheran, it's not fun anymore.

I took offense to that comment. As I'm sure others did.

If you guys want to play your games, take it offline. I shouldn't have to read hate speech on a baseball forum.

My apologies. I was being cute and missed the mark.

Swanson is as untouchable as it gets. The Sox have to ask for him though.

I think this is quite possibly right for PR reasons but not sure his being untouchable makes much baseball sense.

A minor point of caution on Chris Archer would be his age. In my mind's eye he's 25ish, so I was surprised to see that next year is his age 29 season. The contract is very team friendly, but you're buying his age 29-33 seasons. Not trying to say he's ancient, but some level of decline needs to be factored in the evaluation. Not to belabor a point, but I'm hoping we end up letting that be someone else's worry.

Don't think it was anywhere near hate speech. More like sick and tired of reading your stuff speech.

See where Yankees sign Matt Holliday for one year, $13 M. After getting all of those bad contracts off their payroll, they had to add another old guy.

I'm okay with it baseball-wise as well, particularly when combined with marketing reasons. Players like Swanson are not the type you give up when they are under team control.

Yeah, I didn't mean it the way Chip took it. I could have used better words, though.

That's what they should do, as their window to win big is closing, but I don't think they have the pieces. It would take Robles at least to get either.

They would have to give up Robles and Giolito, but they could do it.

Man, PLEASE do that. That would be so stupid.
