Sox want Wheeler. Sox are actively pursuing Wheeler. I don't know that it's "close" or anything like that.

iWiN4PreP Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 As far as Wheeler goes.... Manny Machado + Bryce Harper were both awesome gets. I would have been ecstatic for them. Wheeler is not an 'awesome' buy. He is more of a mediocre buy. He's a high risk, but something we really need and all the other options on the market are either unobtainable (stras+cole) or really poor (keuchel + Bumgarner + hamels). So I wouldn't b e thrilled with a 5/100, but I also wouldn't be unhappy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't bother posting because I didn't know if it was just some prior engagement. If Wheeler really is in Chicago today (haven't confirmed), then there is a lot of smoke.

I'm in on Cole but more weary of Strasburg as far as long term goes, but Boras will get him a deal much better than Wheelers. If I'm right, he is the correct target for the Sox unless they want to go toe to toe with the Yankees. (Which they should, thatd be super badass) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MysterySource5000 Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 I think the Yolmer thing may have just been courtesy to Yolmer, let him talk to other teams earlier. That seams like a Sox move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
