I’d rather go with someone Gwinnett who can play some OF at least and will be way cheaper. Yea I know I gave up on Moose once Grandal signed. I think you mean Gennett.

Not a lock, but this is their best shot to push him through. There isn’t going to be any “pushing though” with Yolmer. He’s not going to the minors. You only do this Move if you’re done with the guy and there isn’t mutual interest in working something out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like it. Very cold. But Robert soon changes that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, this shows Yolmer that no other team was willing to pay the price either. Could help in negotiations if there is mutual interest in bringing him back. But I kind of doubt there is.

He is an excellent bench piece at 4 million. Once he doesn't find any takers at 6.2 million...very good chance he comes back home imo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreenSox Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 I hope the Sox move on from Yolmer. Can't afford more than 1 or 2 no-hit types if they really think they can contend. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiSox59 Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 Can someone update the thread title? Yolmer was never non-tendered - he was placed on waivers - and he is now a FA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
