Dick Allen Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 2 minutes ago, GermanSoxFan said: Well good thing then that neither of these three will be on the team next year. Yolmer could still be back btw. no team is going to tender him a contract for his arb price I think you are correct, but I would be shocked if no one claimed him and tried to work something out before the tender deadline. Mike Zunino got $4,5 million. Yolmer might get close to that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would be pretty popular if he had been a utility guy all the time. I think the Sox have to move on, but he will be a major leaguer for several more seasons even with his bat.

Eminor3rd Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 Outrighting him now makes perfect sense if they wanted to work out a new deal with him -- every team just solidified their 40-man in preparation for the Rule 5 draft. A team would have to like him more than either someone they just protected or whoever it is they planned to try to snag in the draft for them to make a claim. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

35thstreetswarm Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 I suspect Yolmer is the kind of player some folks on this board will fall back in love with when they seem him in another uniform. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's Brock Holt still out there and Kendrick and Starlin Castrio and Kipnis etc etc but none really fit the LH bench piece with pop if you mean could hit 35 HR's like Moose or if you mean more like a true bench piece who hits around 10 .

Moustakas doesn’t work well with the addition of Grandal. I’d rather go with someone Gwinnett who can play some OF at least and will be way cheaper.

They're familiar with what he's able to offer, and is serviceable at both 2B and the OF. Makes a lot of sense if Madrigal/Robert falter.
