Buehrle>Wood Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 "The offer to Rendon, in contrast, is structured similarly to the seven-year, $210 million deal the Nationals gave to pitcher Max Scherzer prior to the 2015 season. The deferrals, according to these people, are to be paid off within the seven years after the contract expires." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BackDoorBreach Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 Give him 8/250 then hire Joe Maddon so he can play RF and 1B. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarava Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 I know Boras won't take that. But for a guy who will turn 30 before the allstar break next year, it's hard to imagine anyone offering much more than that. As much as I get on the Sox for being cheap - I wouldn't want them offering Rendon more than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackout Friday Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 I don’t see him being a target. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EloyJenkins Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 He would be a dream acquisition. Playoff experience, amazing production and you move Yo to RF where he would be pretty great. Solves all the issues other than catcher. But at that price it won't happen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the same shit they did with Harper. The nats have a history of offering big money but not nearly as big as it sounds as they defer a lot of it making it a much smaller offer per year.

I just don't like the idea of moving Moncada off 3B after his great year. #1 priority should be to use the $ to get pitching!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daggins Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 Yeah 3B seems like a pretty low priority target. I know Moncada can, and has said he would, play anywhere, but that doesn't mean they SHOULD move him. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiSox59 Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 I don't think Rendon is really an option. Obviously you can make good players fit, I just think the $250M it would require could be better spent spread among multiple players.

BackDoorBreach Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 Unfortunately yeah, he is not a fit for this team. Yo isn't moving to RF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Rendon could play 2B. Trade Madrigal for RF or pitching. I wouldn't do it, but its a possible solution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GermanSoxFan Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 He could also play 1B. Not going to happen though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not going to happen though Considering we drafted a 1b and we promised we were going to extend a 1b who doesn't like moving to DH, that's a worse option than 2b.

We have obvious holes to plug at DH, RF and Starters. Don't waste time and money where we have exceptional talent already. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcq Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 Rendon's sister and adopted Shnitzu live in Hodgkins so this is pretty much a done deal after the World Series. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisox378 Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 I guess your right. New manager, maybe, cut costs? They probably will pick up the 16 mil. and sign him. So much for wishful thinking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eminor3rd Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 (edited) The time for this move was before Moncada converted to 3b and liked it. IMO, the ship has sailed on a big 3B acquisition. Edited October 8, 2019 by Eminor3rd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
