We've lost exactly 1 targeted free agent and we were the high bidder. I don't think this qualifies as a trend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sambuca Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 I understand we would be wasting Rendon’s defensive ability, and his offense would be slightly less valuable at 1B, but is giving him 300+ at bats at 1B completely out of the picture? This would get his bat in the lineup without having to mess with Moncada’s growing comfortability and confidence, while keeping the better defender at 3B. It would also allow Madrigal to be a long term affordable piece. Moncada-Anderson-Madrigal-Rendon could be one of the better infield defenses in baseball. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Southwest Sider Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 This may be worth resurrecting since the Sox have been on the phone a lot with Boras lately, and it seems he's collected at least a couple 7 year offers already.

Look at Ray Ray Run Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 Apparently, all teams that have been involved with Rendon have been told prior to becoming involved that 7/210 has to be the floor of your offer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nats had a lot of deferred money in the offer and Rendon has no interest in deferred money is the report. If it was like 50 million, the present value dips below 195 million.

What's the best way to handle positions if we acquire him? A) Move Moncada to RF and have Mazara be your primary DH against RHP, making Collins expendable or B) Move Moncada to 2B and trade Madrigal in a package for a SP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sox could easily find enough bats for this year and figure out everything next year when they know what they have with Mazara. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Chappas Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 Abreu to DH and Rendon to 1B. Rendon moves to 1B or DH at some point in his career, may as well be now. Leave Yoan at third Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiSox59 Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 I have zero confidence the Sox are even looking at Rendon at this point. You don't make the Mazara move right now if Rendon is even a longshot possibility. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mazara as a DH/RF/Platoon against RHP is not bad by any means. Rendon is the best possible remaining move the Sox could make. I'm fine with lesser starting pitching options for the short term. I'm not getting my hopes up, but if this entire rebuild did not involve us trying for elite talent, what was the point? Clock is ticking on Giolito and Moncada. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine getting a 1.000 OPS guy in a lineup that will add Vaughn and Robert and have Madrigal as DEPTH. That is comparable to the best lineups in baseball. An actual Elite thing to have.

This would be one of the main reasons you'd pivot to Mazara IMO; to allocate your funds to a better player at another position than overpaying for Ozuna/Castellanos.
