White sox sign relief pitcher Zach Putnam to a minor league deal.
Has missed the last 2 years due to Tommy John and a hamstring injury. Was once a solid bullpen guy for the sox.

Best coach in the city (4 major sports) would certainly be an interesting debate. I kind of feel like it has to be Nagy, which just feels wrong. At least he's gone to the playoffs and had some success.

Yelich and Brewers closing in on a big 7 year extension. With the two years left on his deal and the mutual option this could be for 10 years total.

Keep it up. The new CBA due in 2021 has these players willing to accept fair extensions. Lock a few more young guys up right now.

Really the only guy left is Giolito. Sox have pretty much locked everyone else up or they have 6+ years of control left already.
agreed. just thinking greedily. madrigal even vaughn

I was skeptical that they could lock down Moncada given he already made a good deal of money on his initial signing. This is great.
At the same time, I'd push back on signing Madrigal, Vaughn and Giolito (need one more year on Gio) unless the terms where really favorable. Not everyone is going to hit.

I think they need one more year on Giolito, then I'd sign him. Madrigal doesn't have star potential. Vaughn does, but he's also a 1B. I wouldn't waste flexibility on Vaughn/Madrigal, but I would with Giolito should he perform well this season.

I think Giolito, Cease and Kopech are the obvious next targets. But none are ready for an extension just yet. I think pitchers have to prove a little bit more than hitters.
I'll go with Cease as the pitcher that gets the first longterm deal.
How long until Chicago gets it's own XFL franchise (if they get one)? I'd say less than 5 years.
All depends on the current xfl tv contract. If ratings stay somewhat healthy and the next tv deal comes in and the league can stay solvent and make some revenue. Then I think you'll see small expansion. At least 2 teams, higher end 4 teams.

I agree and at the same time I'm a little less likely to want to give them long term deals because of health issues.

TIL (via KC Johnson), Michael Reinsdorf will plead with any new GM to "keep an open mind" on Jim Boylen. IOW guys, that sound you heard is every legit executive who might be interested in the Bulls job pretty much taking their name out of consideration. There you have it Bulls fans, Bulls are committed to catching the Knicks for futility. There is no way in hell that any good executive is going to keep Boylen and if that is a requirement for the Bulls job, then expect a puppet to be hired.

Nets and Atkinson parted ways for some reason.
That'd be an improvement over Boylen if the Bulls weren't run by idiots.

Would be a great hire. But the bulls front office likes how boylen calls timeouts when down 30 with 5 seconds left in the game.
