sin city sox fan Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 Hadn't heard this rumor before but mlb.com hints at the return of The Shark in #9 on this list. https://www.mlb.com/news/famous-mlb-players-who-could-get-traded They also mention us a possible landing spot for Corey Seager which I don't see as Tim seems to be a fixture at shortstop.

wegner Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 Sounds more like the title of a horrifying horror film, not the makings of a good off season plan at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can makes changes based on something a coach suggests but if you feel it's not working for you then tell the coach and go back to what makes you comfortable. Shouldn't be any fallout from that.

Agreed. If you're a professional, it shouldn't matter. Although one would think if Coop had issue with the whole thing, they wouldn't entertain such a move.

Squirmin' for Yermin Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 (edited) He would be a better move than any of the other back end SP we are discussing. Edited November 20, 2019 by cjgalloway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Two-Gun Pete Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 ~$18MM for a geezing geezer whose xFIP in a cavernous NL park was >5? Holy fucking shit, is this rumor stupid. Now, IF SFG were to pick up $12MM of his one remaining season, and take a crappy low-level token like Korey Zangari in trade, fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is Shark any worse than Nova last year? Probably a little better. Not for $18 Large, of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While it could be a defensive improvement, we know Anderson can hit AL pitching, not so sure how long it would take for the other guy. The Sox have a poor history of veteran NL talent working out for them. Shark is just another example. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, but I also think it couldn't hurt to dangle Madrigal and see what's out there for RF options. If we can get a controllable young stud, might not be a bad idea.

GreenSox Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 (edited) There are numerous 4th/5th starters that they could sign before having to trade for Jeff Samardzija. Sox have a SS; why in the world trade for 2 year Seager and use their only 2B prospect to do so. Trading for short term veterans put the Sox in this mess to begin with. Please don't repeat the failed practices. Edited November 22, 2019 by GreenSox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is going to be very good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
