Yup. And I don’t think either Mancini or Santander alone nets us Alonso. His price I imagine is higher than it probably should be. I’d stay away, even though he’s a fun player to watch and root for

HA. He’ll be here all week, folks.

Looking forward to hearing the deadline hauls Rolltide and sportsguy prognosticate

And who said we were penny pinching? HUGE signing ?

I think we’ll be very dissatisfied with what the market deems to be fair for Santander

Was Aubrey Huff still on the team in 2012?

A good reminder that these guys are human, and moreover, an encouraging sign that he says he absolutely loved the atmosphere and culture Hyde et. al have created in the clubhouse. Best of luck to Jose! Seems like a cool dude.

Haha beat me to it Moose. ? this one’s for CoC.

Ouch. Yeah, gotta go with keeping Nelly.

I’ve always liked Rosario, but I don’t see a fit here. I’d look for White Sox to get him to replace the black hole in their lineup that is Nomar Mazara.

Very cool to hear about him. Seems like more of a relief profile if those are the only two pitches. But if he can be like anything like a Hader or the other new kid on the Brewers, sign me up in a second.

Yea, pretty sparkling.

All aboard the hype train! Love it. And yea let’s hope there is no strike. In the event there is, will the minor leagues still have their respective seasons?

Thanks for the article Weams! Pretty standard fare positivity/optimism, but the videos are very cool. Gunnar Henderson looks looks like he’s put on like 10 lbs of muscle.

John Lester because he apparently just spent 47k buying cubs fans beers this weekend. https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/30244427/free-agent-jon-lester-spends-47k-beers-chicago-fans-possible-farewell

Don’t poke the bear.

I can’t see them giving up anything meaningful for him. I imagine it would be no more than 1 prospect in their 10-15 range and another in the 20’s. Unless we just trade him for cash...(mostly kidding)

I’m very excited to follow him. I see some Hunter Pence in his game.

That’s what I assumed as well. When is the deadline to excercise it, and have other clubs already announced any options they’ve picked up?

Farewell to Tom Eshelman

I think John will settle into more of mid rotation role and hopefully give us a chance every time he takes the bump. Someone like Kyle Hendricks, your #3 starter for years.

Is this satire?

Exactly where I’m at. Upside, upside, upside and projectability all day over guys who like Luis Ortiz who may temporarily improve a few arbitrary rankings of our farm system.

Get back to me in six years

That And he kinda looks like Kenny Powers right now
