    That is the quintessential Wittenmyer experience. Add no new information, say something accurate from the most pessimistic angle even if it's irrelevant. Are any of the other finalists also penalty teams? Dodgers, Giants, Padres, and should they miraculously get confirmed as a finalist, the Reds. https://www.baseballamerica.com/international/2017-18-international-bonus-pools/

    gone...what was it? [tweet] [/tweet] A separate tweet also says the Angels are not known.

    No, he'll need to accrue 6 years of service time to be a free agent. Whoever he signs with will have him through 2023.

    Brewers, Pirates, and Blue Jays are out.

    I think you might be mixing this up with the Stanton trade negotiations. I haven't heard about any team meeting in person with Ohtani.

    "He wanted to be in a small market so there's nothing we could do!" *San Francisco immediately named as a finalist* I'm sure there's at least a kernel of truth here and it might be part of why Ohtani doesn't come to Chicago, but really there needs to be more laughing at Cashman/New York right now
  10. Transmogrified Tiger
    Ohtani's reps also said that they weren't looking for anything serious right now, and didn't think it was fair to string the Yankees along.
  11. Transmogrified Tiger
    Oh did repelling off a building and professing your love for him on local news not do the trick? I thought that was the move that made him a Yankee lock.
  12. Transmogrified Tiger
    It does feel a bit underreported that Ohtani only threw 25 innings this year due to multiple leg injuries.

    Mills has one option left. Arizona Phil's work here is tremendous btw, so consulting this page makes the answer for any current Cubs easy: http://www.thecubreporter.com/cubs-40-man-roster

    I only saw 30 minutes of this game and feel like I saw 2 games' worth of action: http://www.nbcsports.com/video/man-united-3-arsenal-1-highlights Even in those highlights I count at least 5 'oh that's a goal for Arsenal' moments and they only end up with one.
  15. Transmogrified Tiger
    It took me longer than normal to find because I had to stop for air after laughing so hard at Underwood being #11, but Rucker finally makes a list at 16.

    The Sox will get JBJr. + a whole lot more for Abreu. I wouldn't mind the deal, but I think Almora is just as good or better as a CF, so unless this is tied to another deal I don't see it happening. No, the White Sox are not going to get JBJ alone for Abreu, who is a slightly above average first baseman getting near market rates for his age 31 and 32 seasons. As for trading for JBJ, I like him as a player, but I don't see a whole lot of point when he's a slightly better version of Almora. You definitely don't trade Schwarber for him.

    LOOK AT BANNER SHOHEI

    [tweet] [/tweet] Groups D, E, and F look fun. If there's a group of death I'd lean towards F.
  21. Transmogrified Tiger
    Missed opportunity for a Maeda! Maeda! Maeda! reference, but I'll allow it. Also, please please please be true.
  22. Transmogrified Tiger
    go to your room and think about what you've done
  23. Transmogrified Tiger
    Brett's writeup on Alvarez claims he has one option year left, which makes a whole lot more sense than when I assumed he didn't have any options.
  24. Transmogrified Tiger
    I think true best case would always be in the AL, but if he's getting traded to an NL team then the Giants seem like the best realistic option for us. In particular because if the Cardinals strike out on Stanton, then they're turning to trying to talk the Jays into trading for Donaldson(which they might not care to do and Donaldson is 1 year from FA) or something even worse(trading for Ozuna, signing Cargo, etc).
  25. Transmogrified Tiger
    You wanna watch the next Jon Jay slap singles and doubles as the 4th OF, or do you want to see this?
