I have no issue with ozuna, pederson, and to a lesser extent castellanos Those guys aren’t stopgaps. They're rebuilding placeholders. I am talking about a legitimate MLb RF, just on 1 year deal.

Someone may if free agency fizzles out but this market does not seem like it's going to fizzle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would also allow us to put all of our focus on pitching for the next couple offseasons. Yeah, that's a real nice lineup from top to bottom. Big power, great speed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squirmin' for Yermin Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 (edited) Let's take on the Darvish contract for the Cubs.. We will also take Quintana too . The Cubs alone could realistically solve our SP issues. Edited December 9, 2019 by cjgalloway 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Look at Ray Ray Run Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 I didnt understand Rosenthal's point last night. He said the sox would be in on Cole but they dont want to bid against the Yankees and Angels. Claimed if boras called and said if you offer 280 we'll sign now, the sox would do it. Well, if he doesnt get to 280 why wouldnt Boras make that call? That excuse sounds like BS. Willing to go to 280 but not even gonna waste their time bidding. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, his contract is fine. The Cubs just don't want it since they want to shed. He is not a strictly salary dump. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's owed 81 million over the next four years and his projections are: 3.8 3.2 2.6 2.2 11.8 WAR projected and that assumes good health. If he stays healthy, he's worth it, but from 2015-2019 Darvish has only thrown 504 innings; a little more than 100 innings a year. If he does anywhere near that number, he's worth 1/2 his 11.8 WAR projection and his contract is well underwater. Steamer is pretty aggressive with his projection given that he has not reach his projected WAR since 2013.

Give them a middling prospect. And before anyone says that will leave a hole in their staff if they are trying to unload money they won't be competing anyway 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone may if free agency fizzles out but this market does not seem like it's going to fizzle. I am referring to trade. If trade route doesn’t work, Calhoun isn’t my 1st choice, but he’d likely come on 1 year deal, and I’d prefer that to giving Ozuna a Grandal+ deal.

Is there another small short term contract (like 6-8m) they have that we can absorb in addition? I'd rather have Q than pay 3/45 for Keuchel.

Look at his second half numbers... he definitely figured something out. Plus I think now he'll be even better with the Astros stuff coming out. You can tell that World Series was in his head for quite some time. Only thing that can stop Darvish potentially is injuries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, yeah, but I think it's possible the White Sox just don't have interest in Strasburg. Strasburg seems significantly more risky than Cole, imo.
