When is the last time you can recall that this teams payroll commitment was ~15% of league average going into an offseason?

fathom Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 hypothetically if you sign him, that would mean no Bryce obviously. Would hope Manny is in play Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiSox59 Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 Certainly prefer him to Avi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtySox Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 The White Sox might need to field a second team for all these free agents they are going to sign. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago White Sox Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 I think if all these rumors tell me one thing, it’s that agents are using our payroll flexibility to create leverage in the marketplace. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you get Machado sure, but otherwise the focus should be on whale free agents & smaller pieces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would hope Manny is in play I wouldn’t think that to be an obvious assumption. 2B - Moncada LF - Brantley CF - Harper RF - Eloy 1B - Abreu DH - Palka / Davidson 3B - Sanchez C - Navarro / Castillo SS - Anderson Edited November 8, 2018 by hi8is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One concern I have is that he’s bad on defense and limited to LF. That would force Eloy to RF which isn’t ideal. To be honest, he seems like a great fit for Braves to replace Markakis.

Chisoxfn Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 To me this all depends on the years and money and the bigger plan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogan873 Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 What is the expectation of an offer? 3/$45? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmags Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 I never really thought brantley would get that much. I like him though. Surprised he'd be an early signing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brantley is a good player when healthy for sure, and would come much cheaper than Harper. I would imagine a realistic Sox plan would revolve around Brantley, a starting pitcher or two and bullpen help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squirmin' for Yermin Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 Goodness he NEVER and i mean NEVER strikes out.. Maybe this is for a good leadership presense for the young guys (Moncada and Anderson) to learn from.. Maybe like Bryant learned from Zobrist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which certainly doesn't move the needle much for the future, and puts basically all of our eggs in the sign Arenado or Rendon basket.

Just because they could be targeting a bunch of guys doesn't mean they intend on signing them all. Like looking for a corner OF bat, they would obviously grab one and stop pursing others. Off-season talks are always fluid and things are always changing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah would be a good complimentary signing but would hope he’s not main acquisition Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
