Talk your team's trades/releases/signings/firings/hirings/anything you want.

Sox traded Getz and Fields for Mark Teahen the other day. Also bought out the rest of JD's contract. Sad to see him and Getz go, but glad to see we got a guy that can play Right and Third.

Plus one of my favorite moves so far, re-signed Kotsay.

Good idea on this thread....

Rumor has it the Phillies have a 25 year old, World Series MVP by the name of Cole Hamels on the block. Also, heard that the Phillies are still showing interest in acquiring Roy Halladay if they can move Hamels. I would love to see Cliff Lee and Halladay combo. Ahhhhh gotta love early off season rumors.

New ownership seems to be the only real news for the Cubs.

Rumors flying around about a 3 team deal that moves Bradley to Toronto and brings Castillo to the Cubs, but I find this difficult to believe.

Even rumblings of him going back to Texas.

No matter what, he CAN'T be back next year, so if I am any other team I just wait for him to be released rather than deal.

Other than that, I doubt the Cubs do much of anything.

Too much dead weight, and crappy contracts, with no dough to maneuver.

Hudson locked up, as well as the yearly signing of random bullpen guys, and there are rumors that Valaquez may be next for an extension. Which means hopefully the Braves can fool someone into taking Lowe and/or Kawakami off their hands. I'd like to rent Jermaine Dye for a year for insurance for Haywood and drug LaRoche, then set his clock 5 months ahead to get him to think April is really after the All-Star break.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      100%. And these same people will claim you have an agenda. You can't have it every way. We had the lowest rated defense in the league last year. Statistically the worst ever. By PFF grades (for whatever that's worth- but they are readily accepted, used, and conveyed by most "reputable" sources), the defense was the worst ever. Not only that, PFF rated our receiving corp the worst in football last season. The absolute worst... out of 32 teams. Which is why regardless of the lip service Canales and Morgan paid to the current guys, they knew it would be criminal not to give Bryce more help. People fixating on team stats and not taking these things into context are stupid, plain and simple, and I'm for one thankful they're not running this team (or probably anything for that matter bc they obviously can't discern reality. Again, going back to the eyeball test these Narrative Nancies seem to hate so much, did they not see the windows Bryce was putting balls into? Have the generally not watched much NFL? Please, please show me the film where all these NFL QBs are making throws like this to this point Bryce was "below average" down the stretch compared to them. Bryce made more wow throws in that 3 game stretch of the Bucs, Chiefs, and Eagles than every other QB combined in all the years since since Cam got hurt I genuinely am baffled by people that can watch throws like that and act like it's nothing. I guarantee you Steve Spagnola, Todd Bowles, and and Vic Fangio didn't think it was nothing after watching the little guy torch them with players those teams would be embarrassed to trot out at the skill position players. The national media spent all year making excuses for Mahomes not having elite weapons when he had multiple 1st & 2nd round talents at the skill positions along with future HoFers in Kelce and Hopkins. Bryce wasn't throwing for 300 yards every week with David Moore and Adam Theilen in spite of jaw dropping throws and you want to say the guy played below average. For those people, again, we ain't watching the same sport. And the name calling doesn't change that... The vitriol and projection... it's off the effing charts with these people.

      "Well you see if you remove this terrible game that terrible game this other terrible game and then focus on these games you'll see he's actually one of the better QB's in the league and he's actually as good as Jayden Daniels". My god this place is delusional. I love it.
