Jose Abreu

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Nov 9, 2015 -> 09:35 AM) The amount has been known for a few days My bad.

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Nov 9, 2015 -> 09:12 AM) @JeffPassan: Source: Minnesota Twins won rights to Byung-Ho Park with $12.85 million posting bid. Weird, I saw a tweet saying that it was $12.85 million at about 830 AM CT today but ignored it because it looked like a fan account.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Nov 9, 2015 -> 08:37 AM) Daniel Kim is a legit baseball commentator in Korea, so if that's his real Twitter account, maybe there's some legs here (if you ignore the "Blue Socks" part.) It is an intriguing tweet... we'll see

Devan Fink ‏@DevanFink 1m1 minute ago Brewers, Reds, Cubs, White Sox and Twins are only teams left in the Byung-Ho Park sweepstakes. Cubs/Reds make no sense at all.

John Dreker ‏@JohnDreker 1m1 minute ago If it helps, Ben Badler reported yesterday that Byung-ho Park looked awful in Cuba this week, 1-for-7 with 5 K's vs some very poor pitching

I don't see how it can be Minnesota when they have Mauer/Sano/Plouffe at 1B/DH/3B

Brewers, Reds, Cubs, White Sox, Twins

Jon HeymanVerified account ‏@JonHeymanCBS 1m1 minute ago It is not the rockies or phillies for byung-ho park. Not many teams left. #mysteryteam

Can anyone translate the replies of this tweet to English?

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Nov 9, 2015 -> 08:31 AM) I know the Brewers are rebuilding, but I don't think that rules them out. They can always trade Lind (to us), and I seem to remember a rebuilding team signing an expensive, foreign first baseman in the 2013-2014 offseason... QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Nov 9, 2015 -> 08:31 AM) I don't know why you guys are saying that the Brewers and Phillies don't make sense -- this is exactly that type of upside play that rebuilding teams SHOULD make. It's really no different than us getting Abreu. The guy is only 29. If we can cut LaRoche, the Phillies can cut Howard.

A Korean baseball writer tweeted this: Daniel Kim 대니얼 김 ‏@DanielKimW 1m1 minute ago Sources: Chicago Blue Socks won the bidding for Park Byung-ho

Phillies, Brewers, Reds, Cubs, White Sox, Twins.

Jon HeymanVerified account ‏@JonHeymanCBS 27s28 seconds ago Astros and nationals also did not win bidding on byung-ho park. #mysteryteam

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Nov 9, 2015 -> 08:17 AM) Until the Rockies are ruled out, I'm going to assume it's them. It makes the most sense. Weren't they ruled out?

I haven't watched any of his footage or read his scouting report because I didn't think we'd actually be one of the few teams not ruled out of winning the bidding. Better go do that now.

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Nov 9, 2015 -> 08:10 AM) I think so, but I'm 99% sure that the Cubs, Brewers, Phillies, and Reds aren't interested in him. That leaves us with: White Sox, Twins, Astros I would rule the Cubs out due to Rizzo/Bryant and the Reds due to Votto/Frazier, but I wouldn't say the same about the Reds or Phillies. Also, the Twins have Mauer and Sano, so I don't think they'd be interested.

Phillies, Brewers, Reds, Cubs, White Sox, Twins, and Astros. Is this the current list?

QUOTE (soxfan49 @ Nov 8, 2015 -> 12:20 PM) Keith skated today. Woah QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Nov 8, 2015 -> 08:10 PM) He's a cyborg that must have escaped from the Canadian military. He's expected to play Saturday at the earliest. Wow. Derrick Rose, take notes.

Kane leads the NHL in goals

So it's NOT Pittsburgh or Oakland? Ok then.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Nov 9, 2015 -> 07:40 AM) You mean when they're wearing the Sox hats that didn't exist at the time? Yes Didn't see the movie, only knew of the reference because of the fact that they were wearing '91 caps in the 80s.

QUOTE (WhiteSoxLifer @ Nov 9, 2015 -> 06:37 AM) I was just told that the Pirates won the bidding for Byung Ho Park. https://twitter.com/CJNitkowski/status/663693652502437888 There it is. Trade for Pedro Alvarez?

Straight Outta Compton

QUOTE (coco1997 @ Nov 8, 2015 -> 11:31 PM) Write Sox ‏@WriteSox 2h2 hours ago The White Sox are gonna sign Byung-ho Park and move Jose Abreu to third. he did look competent at third in practice this year, but I can't imagine that translating to games
