elwood5892 Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 WSD is saying Alex Call may be the main piece going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vote4Pedro Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 Interesting timing for when this move was made, hopefully it isn’t a sign that the whitesox know they are out on Harper now and are doing everything in their power to grab him up and move to plan b before the meeting with Machado..: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There shouldn't be any pieces going for a salary dump. Just so overmatched in the FO. Edited December 15, 2018 by GreenSox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 Put it this way....if Phillies or Yanks did this, we would think Manny was lost cause Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a one year deal and he actually has a spot to play on this team. If Manny doesn't work out, Alonso being around for a year isn't the end of the world. Where does he play if Abreu is there?

Bob Sacamano Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 (edited) Weird...Alonso is a guy I wanted the Sox to trade for a while back when he was blocked by Votto at 1B and when the Reds were actually good. Can't remember who I thought we could trade them. Edited December 15, 2018 by soxfan2014 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope Yonder plays 1st and Abreu DHs. Sometimes I wonder if Jose is playing first base with a frying pan instead of a glove. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes me think Grandal wasn’t a consideration if Manny was the one they were going to sign because they wouldn’t want to do his buddy Castillo wrong.

SoxAce Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 I wonder if Hahn already knows Harper is going to be a Dodger so now he's focusing on Machado with this move. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
