SoCalChiSox Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 (edited) Now that they didn't allocate any real money for RF, can we at least sign Ryu? Even at 4 years, you can get him for like 70m-75m.. 60m/3 years if no one offers a 4th year. There is zero excuse not to land him....that's alot less than Wheeler.

I think it’s safe to say Hahn is on plans C and D at this point. I would be shocked if they show the money to Ryu or Keuchel, especially considering their agent.

So the Angels and others who must missed out on Cole need pitching. Ryu and Bumgardner are about to cash in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmags Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 So this is deeply depressing from a talent standpoint, but for SP I think I would most like them to get durability this year. They completely lost out on top talent, but I think the best thing they can do is prevent needing to go deep into their AAA depth of pitching (which doesn't exist). Keuchel is attractive there. So is Porcello. It would be two SPs that you know would be there every time. Hell, that was one of the good things about Nova, and by showing up every time his value eventually ended up paying off decently. Anyhoo just a thought.

God why do I think they are going to sign both Porcello and Felix Hernandez? Would be so White Sox to do so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL Yeah Porcello is a risk, his last year was terrible. I just think the red sox tried to change him into a different pitcher and the sox would just be okay with him being a low-k sinker baller. The high 4 seamer stuff worked in improving some of his peripherals but wasn't worth it overall. There are others, but as much as I like Walker I don't want too many risks in offense and defense. Let's remove some stress from either bullpen or other SP. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly don’t think we see Ryu leave the west coast. I think he ends up on the Giants or Angels. I’d be fine with Price as long as the Red Sox are kicking in money towards that deal.

Those two acquisitions could both be made, within the likely parameters of our projected payroll, while not taking on the risk of a long term, expensive contract. I suspect that is the kind of strategy, which is being contemplated by Hahn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I honestly don't think the Sawx are moving him.... Might take Casas and Groome off their hands though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
