Chisox378 Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 (edited) Terrific hitter in Grandal. Just what the Sox need too with a good hitter that can walk and get on base, nice move. Way to jump on him early! McCann can catch, Grandal to DH, Collins to RF.... That's hot baby!!!!!

BFirebird Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 This is awesome. Outside of a SP, this had to be their #1 target. Get Wheeler & Dickerson (or someone like him) & this could be the best offseason they have ever had outside of 2005 offseason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sounds absolutely horrid from a defense perspective. The video game mentality of X player can just be moved to X position doesnt work in the real world. My guess is they move Collins.

chw42 Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 I can easily see Grandal being a 4-5 win player for the next 2 years. This is a huge get and great market value if he declines at a reasonable pace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiSox59 Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 Guys....this is so amazing. Get Wheeler, trade for a RF, and fill in a couple gaps with cheap stop gaps and we got a fucking SQUAD!!! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daggins Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 I saw the tweet from the official sox twitter and thought it was a fake like the fake Rosenthal account. Double checked and was genuinely shocked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Sacamano Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 Grandal did good accepting a one year deal last off-season. Effectively what, 5 years, 89 mill? Not bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
