With Grandal & Wheeler in place, we have much more flexibility and can be patient for the right opportunities to complete the rest of the roster.

In order to be Jerry, you must think like Jerry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buckweaver Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 Doesn't mean anything that Wheeler's brothers are retweeting. We brought Jon Jay and Yonder Alonzo to lure Machado...so until it's official... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What the heck kind of leak is that? Why would the Sox want Wheeler to know they'd go higher lol if they have the highest offer? Only reason it makes any sense - assuming it's not nonsense which is very possible - is that the Sox are trying to chase off other bids? Maybe? That's the only way I see that making any sense.

ChiSox1917 Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 I think with additions of Grandal and Wheeler, along with the continued progression of our core guys, we're looking at an 82-85 win team right now. Add another starter and two bullpen pieces and we're threatening 90 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
