Things that will happen before Snell and Montgomery sign:

Pirates win WS.

Coyotes win SC.

Wizards win NBA title.

U forgot Rendon plays 100 games in a single season

Worked out well for us last time.

[Lazorko Saves]

I believe the board is ready for this thread....

Would be an insane buttercup if it’s not the Angels after all the smoke the last 48 hours.

If the deal has an opt-out, I say it’s SF.

No opt out after year 1.  He can have it after year 2.

Actually the mariners are starting to deal with injuries to their pitching staff wouldn’t shock if they finally said f it and grabbed Snell but I hope it’s us. Having snell going into next years FA carousel would speak volumes in convincing guys to play here

I'm assuming it's a cutesy way of saying walks--"Ball Four(s)?"

I hope Silseth is in rotation to start the season. I think he has earned the opportunity. If they sign Snell he would not be ready till after mid-April. Maybe a trade of Sandoval or try and unload Anderson could happen. Many decisions coming for final 8 in BP before season starts. 

[Erstad Grit]

Wow just looked up Scot Boras age, he's 71. Maybe he's just not good at his job anymore and has done a disservice to his clients.

Snell (and Boras) are creating a problem for whoever is left in the bidding.  If you sign him to a deal with an opt out after one year, it's starting to look like you won't get a full 6 months for the one year you get guaranteed.  5 months? 5 1/2 months? Dunno....but if you're the Angels, who aren't, on paper at least, a playoff caliber team, do you want less than a full year of Snell with the loss of a draft pick?  You would think Perry wants a multi-year deal with no opt outs.

Snell and/or Monty to the Yankees???

Trade for Cease

[Ochocinco!]

Yankees still have a luxury tax problem. Maybe if the cole injury is serious they try to add a FA but it’ll be costly if they do 

[Stradling]

If the Yankees add Snell and resign Soto they would drop about $215- $220 million on 7 guys.
