tray Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 Maybe the desire to head in a different direction as set forth in this article might actually mean that Benintendi might be shopped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daggins Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 Throw this guy the Reddick contract (4/52) and see if he bites. Any more than that feels like too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s what I thought he would get before this year and I think it makes sense - but just feels like everyone thinks he’ll make more.

BackDoorBreach Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 There's no way he ends up at 50 over 4. He probably gets somewhere near 16 a year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago White Sox Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 1 hour ago, Sarava said: Wheeler will be the tough one. If I had to bet, I'd say he will be the free agent with the most teams interested in him. Everyone needs pitching and most cant afford Cole or Strasburg. He's the next prize. Fully agree, but if the big market teams focus their attention on Cole & Strasburg, there’s no reason we can’t be one of the favorites if we’re willing to strike early.

Chicago White Sox Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 1 hour ago, ChiSox59 said: Right, I mean if he’s in addition to Grandal and Wheeler and Sox can sign a glove first OF that isn’t a black hole on offense, signed me up for Castellanos all day long. I just don’t see that as it even remotely close to a realistic situation. This all also assumes that Jose Abreu is around. All depends on the price. But if MLBTR is right, you could get the three of them for ~$55M in AAV. I think the Sox could afford that if they were willing to sport a $140M payroll next year (which they should), but that’s far from a guarantee.

I'm not totally against moving Vaughn. I think he's our one big prospect that isn't essential to the rebuild succeeding. That said, I would not move him for Benintendi. That would be a major overpayment IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe you could somehow get him if you wanted to buy some of Boston's bad contracts, but you're still going to have to give up something of value. Yesterday Rosenthal had an article suggesting we might be able to get Benintendi if we take on Price or Eovaldi's contract with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just something to keep in mind. Didn't realize he really is that young, a sub-30 FA is a pretty rare find, not that I love Castellanos but I can get behind signing him to a 3/4 year deal if the money is right 15 hours ago, BackDoorBreach said: He's probably going to want to start. I like the idea of Mazarra if we can get him very cheap as a 4th OF. I don't know how realistic that is though. Mazara was of interest to Hahn a year ago, wonder if he still is One of the only deals I'd be wiling to make at this point in time along with Haniger or Pederson if we aren't giving up too much 15 hours ago, greg775 said: 5 years 90 for the same stats as Avi, 27 HRS, 80 RBI and the same age. ... Interesting. What makes this guy so valuable compared to some of greg's faves who don't make a lot of cash? Hit .289. Baseball intrigues me. I guess he'd be fine to fill our RF vacancy. I did read Cubs fans want to re-sign him so there's that. 5/90 would be too much for me to support, bringing in Avi if Sox pay Grandal, Abreu, and an arm makes sense to me if DH or RF are left unadressed Hopefully Abreu will be the full time DH in 2020 and beyond assuming Vaughn pans out so a stopgap like Avi or EE makes a lot of sense short term 14 hours ago, SonofaRoache said: I feel like we've seen this movie before with Swisher.

He is a perfect fit for their needs, is MLB ready, is dirt cheap for 3 seasons, and there is a gaping hole at his position. It makes no sense to trade him.

I just get an anti Avi vibe and feel there's no way we reacquire him. Any insiders back me on this? While I would love the return of Avi, I bet you Hahn or KW believes he's a stiff.
