Facts don't matter any more, so I stand by my post.

For baseball content: is the Yanks going after Chapman a good idea? The rotation will be "meh" at best, so is spending all that money for a closer worth it, or is locking him up for ~6 years a good thing for a run in a few years?

FWIW, Chapman asking for a 6 year deal is probably more to ensure he gets a 5 year deal. He won't get signed for 6 years anywhere.

That said, the yankees have infinite money and should definitely sign him

Chapman knows he won't get 6 years. It's just negotiating.

As good as Sale is, I'm really not pumped about the idea of trying to beat a giolito/Robles package, gotta figure it begins with moncada/jbj/e-rod at the least

Trade Benintendi and JBJ and I riot. I figure it'd be more Ed Rodriguez, Kopech, Devers, plus filler.

Considering the rumored package the Nationals were willing to give up, I would count on losing guys you really really don't want to lose for Sale if the Red Sox have taken the lead in this

If nothing else than for the sake of third base depth, I hope Devers isn't in the trade. Alex Speier is speculating Swihart might also be involved

I'm glad I preemptively gave up on 2017 for the Yanks, though.

I follow the Red Sox in the sense that I get scores to my phone, occasionally listen to a game, and get real fuckin' mad when they gently caress up traffic around my office when I just want to get home. How good a trade is this for Boston? All I really know about Sale is that he's a Very Good Pitcher who occasionally slices up jerseys for fun.

Kopech is a AA pitcher who throws harder than Chapman, Moncada is crazy talented, but couldn't hit a curveball to save his life in a very small cup of coffee last season, probably needs a season in AAA for seasoning.

Sox are dealing some serious prospects, but Sale is absolutely amazing and honestly it seems like Boston got off a little light.

Boston got one of the best pitchers in the world on an absurdly cheap contract and gave up zero major league talent. It's real good.
