Hahaha, love that little play on Festivus there.

Yes - I will do that - even though it hardly seems random.
LOL, yeah, random probably doesn't really apply. But hey, traditions are traditions and you've started a new one for this board. Why change?Yes - I will do that - even though it hardly seems random.
And double wow....as I continue reading about this trade, apparently the Padres remain in "deep discussions" with the Cubs to acquire Yu Darvish as well. Dayum, if they land him, that just might make the Friars the WS favorite, at least from Vegas odds that is.Wow, just read that the Padres traded for Snell. It cost them 4 of their higher ranked prospects, including 3 of them in their top 14. But to me, that's more than reasonable, especially considering the Padres farm is stacked. Nice move on their part.
Padres' blockbuster trade for Snell official
The Padres had a void to fill in their rotation this winter. They did so emphatically on Sunday night. Left-hander Blake Snell, the 2018 American League Cy Young Award winner and one of the sport's premier arms, is headed to San Diego in a five-player blockbuster -- a deal that

aside from last year's 1/3 season, darvish hasn't had a good year since 2016, and that was only so so! cubs were dumb to give him that contract and pads would be dumb to take on the last 3 of it considering he'll start the year at age 34.And double wow....as I continue reading about this trade, apparently the Padres remain in "deep discussions" with the Cubs to acquire Yu Darvish as well.

Padres "Deep" Into Talks To Acquire Yu Darvish
The Padres are "deep" into talks to acquire Yu Darvish in a trade with the Cubs. Read more at MLB Trade Rumors.
Agreed about the Cubs overpaying, but that still doesn't diminish the fact that Darvish had one hell of a year in '20. No guarantee that those efforts will be duplicated, but if I was betting on him having a good or bad season, my money would be on the good. If the Padres land him, they will almost certainly be right up there with the Dodgers and Braves as one of the teams to beat in the NL.
Speaking of trades, NBCSports ran a hypothetical trade between the Sox and Rays, substituting what we might have had to give up in comparable prospects to what the Padres surrendered.

agree. and maybe we'll get more than one year from lynn. based on what already have i believe our top 4 prospects should be untouchable.Speaking of trades, NBCSports ran a hypothetical trade between the Sox and Rays, substituting what we might have had to give up in comparable prospects to what the Padres surrendered.
What hypothetical Blake Snell trade would've cost Sox
The White Sox got their pitching upgrade in Lance Lynn. But for those dreaming of a super rotation in 2021 and wishing they would’ve traded for Blake Snell, too, here’s what a hypothetical deal with the Rays might’ve cost them.
Nothing set in stone here, it was all suggestive, but if remotely close, there's no way I would have given up what's mentioned in the article. Two of the four suggested prospects were on my personal untouchables list. No way, Jose.

A little at-the-moment take on the '21 AL Central from the MLB channel. Of course a little bias from our own Chuck Garfien:
Previewing the AL Central in 2021 | 12/28/2020
Mandy Bell and Chuck Garfien join Hot Stove to preview how the AL Central Division will look like in the upcoming 2021 season
Well, it's nice for a change to be discussing the Sox in terms of division title/playoff possibilities instead of the usual rebuilding blather. I'm certainly not ready to give us the flag when the New Year bell hasn't even rung in yet, but I sure am ready to believe we have ourselves a pretty damn good ballclub.
anxiously awaiting your first new year's post.
