kwill Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 Anybody want to try to get the price. I will say 1-6million bonuses can take it up to 9 million. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very interesting I wonder if this pushes the Astros to make a move for Quintana Or the Cubs for that matter? Lackey and Arrieta are free agents and both are likely to leave after this season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesnt even have to be serious just enough that other clubs have a motivation to push in more chips to make sure the Cubs dont just swoop in on Q.

Pretty sure we are open to a Cubs deal Jimenez, Happ, Candelario and Cease/Zagunis would be a nice package Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panerista Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 Wherever we get the best deal is where I want Q to go. Simple as that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackSox13 Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 57m57 minutes ago Jeff Passan @JeffPassan Sources: Tyson Ross' one-year deal with the Texas Rangers is for $6 million guaranteed. Can earn more with bonuses. Going to be interesting to see how Ross performs in the AL and in that Texas heat when the ball jumps off of bats. I think he should have stayed in the NL in hopes of putting up solid numbers to get a multi-year contract next winter. Ross' numbers have been shielded by pitching in the NL and the most pitcher friendly park in baseball but pitching in Texas with his High BB rate could be a disaster.

His injury is a big concern as well. That is not the organization I would would choose when coming back from the TOS surgery. That's tricky enough to begin with.

Coming back from injury, how much gas will be left in the tank of that arm come September and beyond? I know Texas needed to do something, but Ross? I don't see Ross, his injury and pitching in the AL being a good recipe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess. But he's picking a few good out of a larger question mark. Maybe they are good with the smaller sample. It would still give me pause in the big picture.

It's light i know but i would take in a heartbeat. Throw in Cease and its a done deal. I would ake Cantini the catcher over Zagunis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Throw in Cease and its a done deal. I would ake Cantini the catcher over Zagunis. I wonder if the Cubs might bite on something like this. Theo just said in the media in the last few weeks that the plan all along was to load up on hitting prospects with the idea of trading some of them for pitching at some point. I'm not sure they would consider moving Jimenez though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heirdog Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 Jimenez and Cease are the real deal and would be ecstatic w those two as part of a 3 player package w Happ. Although,if I'm Hahn, I'm asking for Baez or Schwarber and "settling" for that package Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
