Orlando Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 People are acting like Grandal is garbage or ruins our shot at Harper. Grandal is a top Catcher and would be perfect to compliment a Harper move. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I made mention of this a few weeks ago, so this isn't me overreacting to the situation, but he's one of the most frustrating hitters to watch in all of baseball.

Are you still chasing Machado or Harper? Rick: "Uhmm I think that Grandal is a asolid defensive catcher that can add a great influx of veteran talent to our 25-man roster. As for Harper and Machado, I think some stones are better left to be open for interpretation, as we may remain in contact with them to give a potential unique talent to our 25-man roster, Uhhhmm I believe that this 2019 White Sox team will be better with the influx of young talent on our 25-man roster and will develop into a future perennial playoff team, which uhmmmm has the potential of winning multiple championships."

Nokona Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 I think we only snag him if we get one of the big fish. No real reason otherwise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have agreed with you if it was any position besides catcher. Maybe they just really want to know they have someone at that position for the next 3-4 years they can rely on to at least catch the ball.
