    Nice! Thank you.
  2. ToolDRT
    Are we doing a winter meetings thread where we can put rumors for the cubs and all other teams in one place? Feels like it’s going to be a busy one. Especially if Ohtani signs before.
  3. ToolDRT
    Tell us more
  4. ToolDRT
    Yeah, I can’t stop refreshing here and twitter. I was trying to nap and nope!
  5. ToolDRT
    Let’s hope. The last two days have left me genuinely pessimistic about the direction of this offseason.
  6. ToolDRT
    So his slight pessimism on Ohtani should be taken seriously, right? I mean, he’d be the one to know.
  7. ToolDRT
    Interesting. I was curious because I know with Suzuki the weather was of importance to him. That’s one thing that’s a bit tough for us, April in Chicago is more winter than spring lately.
  8. ToolDRT
    Does Ohtani live in LA in the offseason?
  9. ToolDRT
    Man, I can’t believe we have to deal with this for at least a few more days.🤣 I was hoping it’d be done by now so we could get into winter meetings mode knowing what we need.

    Assuming that’s what happened, there’s a way to get Soto without dealing Horton or PCA, and I think Jed needs to find it if we miss Ohtani. The padres are going to ask for the moon to start, of course. They’d be poorly run if they didn’t. That’s what negotiations are.

    I want this. I want this bad. And frankly it’s starting to drive me crazy. This is just such a weird offseason where after the top free agents there’s such a drop off that I don’t know how you put together a notably better team without signing a Ohtani/Yamamoto or trading for a Soto. The idea of settling for Matt Chapman sickens me. I loved Belli this year, but I have some concerns with him on a mega deal. It’s just…Ohtani would be a coup.

    My only thing is it seems like several reporters get the same “vibe” from somewhere. Whether they’re just stealing from each other or not is the question. But last week we seemed to be the hot pick and now it seems to be the jays. That said, I do think Rogers is being genuine here. I’m sure little rumblings are leaking and as of now we’re not the “favorite”. Frankly, now that the bidding seems to be nearing the 600mil mark I’m not sure if that’s a bad thing.
  14. ToolDRT
    Swap out Bellinger with Soto and Glasnow with Cease while adding Hoskins and Imanaga and im interested 🤣
  15. ToolDRT
    Ahh I see it. Dang.
  16. ToolDRT
    Where did you see this? And yeah, the chatter has been rather pessimistic the last day or so. Bummer.
  17. ToolDRT
    Sing it! This is one of the posts that makes me think no one has a clue what the hell is going on right now. Adding the greatest free agent of all-time just so you can downgrade the team around him is borderline psychotic.
  18. ToolDRT
    I just saw that. How is subtracting from your roster a selling point?
  19. ToolDRT
    Link?
  20. ToolDRT
    If they miss Ohtani they should go hard for Yamamoto and Imanaga.
  21. ToolDRT
    That’s exactly it though! 🤣 It was like this with Correa last year as well. It gets a bit annoying.
  22. ToolDRT
    Ehh generally I take the worst case scenarios in life and try to adjust. Then, if it turns out the other way it’s an extra happy moment! Having said that, I hope that if we don’t get him Jed already knows and can move on. He’s a huge addition to any teams payroll and the teams that are in the running can’t do anything else until they know. It would be better to know now and pivot than find out in a week.
  23. ToolDRT
    If we’re really out this does give Jed a few extra days to pivot before the meetings. Still time to make impact moves.
  24. ToolDRT
    Yikes. That would suck to be beaten out by the blue jays.
  25. ToolDRT
    Still rumors of the cards being after Cease. That would make me sick.
