Hey, knock it off. We didn't get Machado or Harper last year!

You’re better off without those two. Cole is much, much more important.

I just meant that as a joke, but I completely agree.

If not getting one of those guys was the price of getting Cole this year, it was absolutely worth it. And it's not even a question.

I don't remember the last time I was this excited about a free agent signing. Cole is a winter home run.

Spring camp TJ guaranteed now.

I knew you were joking. You guys should be excited. There was really only one guy that makes any sense who’s available and you got him. The hitting isn’t an issue.

This is being a Met fan in a nutshell...you guys sign Cole, we sign Michael Wacha. Yay

You put some respect on Tanner Roark's name.

Gardiner re-signs for a year plus a team option for ‘21.

Nice.

$20MM contract paying $10MM in '20, and either $10MM in '21 or a $2.5MM buyout.

Tiger select Rony Garcia 1st overall in the Rule 5 draft.

excrement. That roster is shitty enough where they can carry him all year.

Austin Romine to the Tigers on a one-year deal.

It was definitely over when the Yankees started considering Martin Maldonado for Cole.

I love Dellin Betances, but the Yankees are supposedly interested in trading for Josh Hader. Push all your chips to the center Cash. Jesus, the pen would be absolutely ridiculous.

And while I'm in daydream mode, let's see what it would take to pry Nolan Arenado from the Rockies. Colorado is supposedly listening to offers.

I think I remember reading they were looking for outfield help. I wonder if a package of Frazier, Andujar (to replace Arenado there), and a prospect would be enough? Honestly, he's one guy I'd even be willing to part with Garcia for. Imagine an infield 1st-to-3rd of Voit or Ford, LaMahieu, Torres, Arenado, and Gio Urshela as a "utility" guy (pretty much like DJ last year--and he recently said he's willing to play anywhere).

Stop. I can only get so erect.

Stop. I can only get so erect.

Wait until he tells you about the Yankees plan for Jonathan Holder this year
