    Dodgers already cut Bailey, so this trade is getting weirder and weirder

    Enough to trade for Kluber or try to sign Kuechel? This *costs* Cincy quite a bit of money for 2019. How long is Kemp’s deal?

    The good news is that the outfielders have very few opportunities since the walls are like 250 feet from home plate

    Theo is a genius. He tricked the Dodgers into taking stupid Harper. Now the Cubs can swoop in and land LeMehieu and Pollock and win 120 games

    Guessing it's Puig to the Reds, giving the Dodgers money for Harper. SIGH. Puig, Kemp and Alex Wood

    Does RFA really work out for players in other pro leagues. Arbitration is actually kind of nice in some ways, the problem is its so long and drug out after like a decade of control. RFA seemed to have worked out for Zach Lavine and Kyle Fuller just to name two recent local examples. RFA is basically just arbitration by a different means, where the market sets the price instead of an arbitrator. As you say, the bigger problem is that it doesn't happen until entering the player's fourth year of service time, which in many cases might not be until almost a decade after they sign their original deal. Well you would have to say that players hit RFA 3 years after being promoted. Six years of cost controlled team control is way too much

    So you don't think one of the most succesfful college coaches in history can teach a class about leadership? Biased much? you don't think michael jordan isn't a great basketball coach? Idiot. That's a terrible analogy

    He's probably about as qualified. So you don't think one of the most succesfful college coaches in history can teach a class about leadership? Biased much?

    This isn't news. It was pretty clear that he was staying at the school in some capacity after retiring.

    Josh Gordon suspended indefinitely for violating the terms of his conditional reinstatement

    Just kill arbitration and add restricted free agency

    I've seen it too, and I can't get myself to read through any of the Addison apologist/men's rights activist [expletive] all over the horsefeathering place. Hell, I'm someone who used to regularly watch Fox News, and even occasionally stomach visits to dark places on the web such as The Daily Stormer, simply to educate myself more about how the full spectrum of morons to monsters view the world and craft their arguments. I can't get myself to have exchanges with the garbage people anymore. Yeah, that stuff is no good for you. I feel like I can get a decent idea of how horrible people can by just living life. No need to seek it out. Hell, a co-worker's husband decided the Christmas party was a great place to decry homosexuality. I barely got out of there without the Mrs taking a swing at him. I was kinda proud of her, but still. It's really not good for the soul, but I can't help it. Then I read horsefeathers like this: and wonder why I'm such a glutton for it.

    Ugh, so many apologists framing this entire situation as "hasn't HE been through enough??" ARE YOU horsefeathering KIDDING ME?

    where Facebook, Twitter, other baseball sites

    The number of Russell apologists out today is sickening
  17. Derwood
    He got low-key pwned

    That literally just happened. "If you're gonna get your panties in a bunch over every little political thing, then you aren't a TRUE fan to being with!"

    I was already told by several Facebook strangers that if I don't support the Ricketts, then I don't support the Cubs

    Isn't this just talking abou t the new NBC network with the other 3 teams? That is the one being talked about as pretty much done. The Cubs one is not being talked about in nearly the same way. Also LOL about paying more for NBCCH minus CHC Good call, totally missed that
  21. Derwood
    Yes, you nailed it. No, obviously worried that there could be cable/satellite carriers who don't carry the network
  22. Derwood
    This is exactly what I was afraid of

    I've been a fan of the "reverse draft order" for every sport for some time now. It will never happen
  24. Derwood
    As late as September, I would have been very surprised if Harper had signed anywhere but with the Cubs. Now I would bet good money he doesn't. I think he'll wait as long as it takes for the Dodgers to make trades and then sign there
  25. Derwood
    Now the Phillies are sandbagging.
