Buehrle>Wood Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 I'd back up the brinks truck for a reliever with a 15 k/9. But yeah injuries and all that. No idea what his market will be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmags Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 Sure. Just weird since he is not a 2020 acquisition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago White Sox Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 Honesty, he’s exactly the type of reliever we should take a shot on. Huge upside and likely won’t require a huge commitment given his injury history. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago White Sox Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 What’s weird is Kinander keeps on spewing rumors and has yet to get one right. There’s probably some truth to the Joc rumor, but that’s pretty much it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zack Britton ruptured his in Dec 2017 and was back pitching in the majors in June 2018. Betances partially tore his in September, so maybe he'll be ready by the start of the regular season. That might be an optimistic timeline (I don't know, I'm no doctor), but I think we expect the worst after what happened with Burger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No surgery necessary, so it seems like he should be ready barring any setbacks in his rehab. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I figured the amount of drive would make it as taxing as for basketball. And yeah, burger did ruin this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outside of the Joc stuff, I just remember him "predicting" in late May that Cease would be called "soon" and it happened about a month later. So, yeah.

SoxAce Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 Well.. I like Betances chances of being good coming back from injury than Herrera was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RTC Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 This signals we have already reached the point in the offseason where: 1- the Sox are linked to everyone 2 - fans start giving airtime to people like Jason Kinander man it’s going to be a long winter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiSoxJon Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 So injury riddled, but with money to blow I wouldn't mind giving him 2 year deal with a year 3 option Would lighten the load on Colome who we burnt out down the stretch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bschmaranz Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 Considering the quantity of quality arms available, I would assume there's A LOT of guys we're interested in and it's not just Betances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Betances signs somewhere else, does that mean hes wrong that Sox were interested? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Betances signs somewhere else, does that mean hes wrong that Sox were interested? I mean he has no track record of being a legit insider and keeps throwing out rumors. Obviously this one is tougher to prove right or wrong, but it doesn’t change his history. I question that he’s really in the know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackout Friday Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 He sounds like a tertiary source in this instance so who the hell knows. I’d be cool with it depending on the deal he’s given. Relief pitchers seem to oddly be something the Sox are OK with giving above market deals to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balta1701 Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 With them having money to spend this would be an intelligent move, but obviously it needs to be a 2 year deal as I don't believe he's going to do much at all in 2020. And we still need 2020 bullpen help regardless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t believe that at all, but if he is expected to be ready opening day then he should take the best 1 year deal he can get, because he won’t have a QO attached to him if he has a good year. If he thinks he’s healthy, 1/$3 is a better deal for him than 2/$30. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not getting 27 million in year two regardless of how good he is next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
