Good Guys Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 Cole signs with the Angels or Dodgers. If Rendon signs with the Nationals and Strasburg opts out the white sox could be on a short list for his services. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Strasburg/Cole pickup would be massive, but believe it when I see it Assuming we whiff on them I really don't want to overpay a Ryu, Wheeler, or MadBum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarava Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 I'm sure Strasburg will opt out. But it's kind of hard to imagine him not re-signing with the Nats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is what I think happens. He's not going to just leave money out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vote4Pedro Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 (edited) Oh boy....that time of year again. Cole is the obvious choice here but strasburg is more realistic of the two. With that said I don’t think the Sox land either of them. Edited November 1, 2019 by beckham15 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you get points for how many seats you've had at tables and can thus cash them in to save money on future FAs? Can these seats be cashed in for wins or to move up in the draft? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zisk Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 As for the original question. I'd take Strasberg. But this being the White Sox, I'd settle for Zack Wheeler. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wegner Posted November 1, 2019 Author Share Posted November 1, 2019 So after game 7, Cole was wearing a baseball cap with the Boras Corp logo on it? Does anyone else find that to just be a very odd thing to do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A-Rod and the Rangers, although any team acquiring him would have believed they were instant contenders because he was that dominating at the time.
