Makes a bold claim and then gets all cryptic. If they sign him, he will claim he had a source, if they don't he will say he never said he was in the know. Expand I mean, he's far more connected than just some random twitter/soxtalk dude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wegner Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 Since Grandal was so under the radar, any chance the Sox have put offers on the table for Cole or Strasburg, in addition to Wheeler? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like a waste of resources to me. Sign 1 (wheeler) and then get a cheap guy that can make 10 or so starts and then shift to the pen. Expand Yah, I mean that's not going to happen. Its going to be a good rotation piece like Wheeler/Ryu/Madbum and then a 1 year deal SP like Wood, Miley, Hill, Gio Gonzalez, Smyly, Porcello, Etc. Assuming (hoping) the first one is Wheeler, I expect the 1 year stop gap add to be a lefty. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand I'd give Hamels two years if we get Wheeler, and he is the last best option. If we don't want him, we'd be able to trade him next year anyway.

BackDoorBreach Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 Were only around 81 million still after Grandal. I believe we were at 63 after Abreu and arb.
