Jose Abreu Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 As they should be. Would be a huge short-term upgrade over Palka if we're really going for it next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 For what, a sign a flip in July? 2 yrs/$25M seem about right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Sacamano Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 (edited) So assume the Sox move quickly on this and they sign him. Do they non-tender Avi playing Palka in RF? Edit: quickly as in between now and non-tender deadline (I don't even know when that is). Edited November 6, 2018 by soxfan2014 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abreu and Jimenez can easily solidify the DH spot in 2019. That's what I meant (to your first thought). In the event that Cleveland sells, we do indeed land one of Machado/Harper, but it would still leave Abreu at 1B, Eloy in LF, and Cruz/Palka at DH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiSoxFanMike Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 (edited) Signing Cruz wouldn't have any negative impact on the Sox pursuit of Harper/Machado, right? Edited November 7, 2018 by Whitesox27 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 They have to make it more attractive to Harper or Machado. But Cruz is 100 years old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, I was 100% down with trading Abreu last year (especially to the rockies, seems like a natural fit), and I am still semi-down with trading him this year, but why would a Cruz signing make you want to trade Abreu? Wouldn't signing Cruz (and I'd assume Machado) make us want to keep Abreu to field the best line up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
