The Indians are a mess. Chicago needs to clean out their entire farm system for a one year rental of Machado and win that division.

If the Phils end up trading Nick Williams (who I think is most likely to go, he's got the best pedigree of the Phils outfielders and I personally am higher on Herrera, Hoskins, and Altherr) for a pitcher I could like the Santana deal. Assuming Williams goes for a starter the Phils could go with this lineup maybe? 2B - Hernandez CF - Herrera LF - Hoskins 1B - Santana RF - Altherr 3B - Franco SS - Crawford C - Alfaro P Which isn't bad at all. I'm almost optimistic the Phils could get to .500 this year maybe?

Also I seem to be higher on Cesar Hernandez than a lot of people it seems; everyone's clamoring for Kingery to take over but I don't see much to indicate that Kingery's definitively better.

The Berzerker posted:They haven't really done anything but tbh the Red Sox have not done a ton yet either. With 30 million bucks to spend, they better loving not trade Donaldson. If the pitching is healthy they are good enough to contend for the wildcard and already have a good prospect base. If things go sideways you can trade him in July, and the return won't be much different.

No. TV channels are expensive (look at how much Disney paid for Fox Family, it's not that high anymore but like owning a sports team it's an established guaranteed revenue stream that's limited only to the fact that systems can only take on so many).

As Disney owns ABC owned and operated affiliates in many major cities, owning the FOX ones too might not work in a few markets. I guess they can trade channels like ABC San Francisco for channels in other markets and reap the NFL related profits of the Fox station in an NFC market.

You’re right that those are staying with Fox, but the 22 Regional Sports Networks and FX Networks and Nat Geo were specifically mentioned as going to Disney in the deal. The local Fox television affiliates are staying with Fox.  Edit: I just read your post again. The Fox channel and its affiliates are different from the Fox Sports regional channels. Disney is only getting Fox Sports, so I guess Fox is still going to be doing their NFL brodcasts. Fox Sports mainly covers NBA, NHL, MLB and college sports for some local markets. ihatepants fucked around with this message at 06:17 on Dec 16, 2017 |

I call this stove boring because only one of the top 20 free agents has signed yet, and when they do it’ll be way below what they’re expected to sign for because teams are cheaping out and trying to stay under the luxury cap we knew Ohtani was coming and Stanton was inevitably on the move when the stuff about Miami’s new ownership started to come out in like late October Free agency is the lifeblood of the hot stove and it’s being stifled!!
