I guess I don't get the anger. I just think it's hilarious. Got my two rings, everything else is just noise.

Or are they living rent free in our heads because every time one of these interviews occurs we have a bunch of posters crying about it?
You mean laughing at how petty and dumb he sounds? Maybe you don't understand the term "rent free" in this context

Ha. Maybe I was confused by the angry face emojis rather than the laughing one.

But wait...I thought Boone said they lost the 22 ALCS to us because of the wind.

They can't make up their minds.

Yeah, I get it. I think this is an instance where the icon is more along the lines of "man, **** this guy" than any underlying anger that hangs around without prompting.

Someone brings you up, you might have a reaction. Not the same as what that loser of a GM keeps doing

There's so much money in that deal we'd have to eat a huge chunk and get almost nothing in return. Also, Crane would never sign off on that b/c it'd be yet more proof that he has no business making roster / front office decisions.

Makes a lot of sense. We have a lot of arms, some of which could be good bullpen pieces. We need that money to solve other problems.

The cubs would be taking on nearly $80M for 4 years. Lets say we don't eat any of the money. What are we realistically going to get in return?

Position player prospects, which we probably need...

I would like to do a dig in on Hader, b/c some bad results left us with a negative feeling. From an overall perspective, though, his performance stats were all still good, with the exception of HR%

I would be really surprised if they dealt Hader.

Now, on the other hand, I don't really expect Pressly to return next year.

Addition by subtraction here

Is Neris back in blue and orange this year or is he a FA?

I'm pretty sure (without looking) that Hector had a 3 year deal with the Cubs.

Nope Im wrong Hes a FA

I don't expect Hader to be dealt either. I just thought it would be fun for conversation.

I'd rather see them deal Pressly and keep Hader, but it wouldn't free up as much money. Might get more in the trade though. Most of all, I don't want to spend all next season watching Pressly in a snit over pitching the 8th instead of the 9th.

Dump Hader for $ relief, trade Tuck and Press to the Phillies for Schwarber, Kerkering and Strahm and then use the $20+ million saved to resign Bregs and Kooch.

I've said for awhile I hate appeals for check swings. It's too ambiguous on when the HP umpire appeals.

Let the HP umpire make the call. If the HP umpire can't make the call then it's not a swing.

I'd do that. Curious if he would take that though. Would put him as a free agent at 37 years old. I feel like 6/160 could work but with opt out after year 3

This feels way off. If this is the case I'm buying Kim, Walker, & Tony and laughing my way to the parade next year.
