Orlando Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 Since we are back in the bargain bin, I wouldn’t mind a Domingo Santana signing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at Ray Ray Run Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 Just now, Orlando said: Did anyone catch this? Is this true? It seemed to make sense with the Mazara trade. It's the one thing that has made sense about that trade. If the White Sox thought the market for Castellanos and Ozuna was too much (80-100 million) and they figured they'd rather get a cheap RF and spend all their money on Rendon then whatever. I don't love moving Yoan back to second, but that frees up Madrigal (who I love) to be traded for a controllable arm. This plan makes a lot of sense, but the Sox have to execute it now.

Not criticizing the overall plan...but I think the much more likely plan our FO had behind the Mazara trade was “cheap, LH, hits HR’s, and is young enough to sell his potential”. I highly doubt there was an in-depth master plan behind it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I highly doubt there was an in-depth master plan behind it. I'm sure the team has a plan; regardless of how incompetent you feel they are, they aren't making these moves in a vacuum. Each move, in an off-season of this magnitude, should have another purpose tied to it. Given how supposedly involved they were in the Castellanos/Ozuna market, this pivot leads me to think they want to spend that money elsewhere. Or, they want to wait out the Castellano/Ozuna markets like I said I'd do, and maybe this doesn't deter them from signing one of those two if their prices plummet. I doubt that happens, and I think they believe both will get somewhere near their demands, but who knows? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn’t mean it to come off as “the front office is clueless.” I just find it really hard to connect the dots to a huge signing like Rendon because we got a RF that didn’t cost a lot. That just seems like a pretty big reach/pipe dream. But you’re right, who knows is the real answer. Anything other than 1 of Keuchel/Ryu/Bum is going to shock me at this point. Hopefully they really do have something up their sleeve that shocks me in a good way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lillian Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 I thought that the Heyman comment had been clarified and that it was intended to apply to the Rangers, not the Sox. Texa is after Rendon, and this move is ostensibly constructive toward that end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Parkman Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 (edited) Listen: I'm not 100% against Keuchel. You have to get him at your price. Anything over 3 years and $50M and I'm out. I think he's going to get 4/80. Hard pass at that price. Edited December 11, 2019 by Jack Parkman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchetman Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 Well we still need two guys that can give you 30 starts if needed. Won't be an easy task. I'd take Keuchel just to have a warm body not named Dylan Covey. I don't care what he costs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soxfan3530 Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 Anyone interested in Thames as a short-term DH? Haven't' seen his name thrown around here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Parkman Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 Opinion on DH: Let Collins/McCann/Abreu/Grandal/Platoon RF/Mazara split it. There is no reason not to. Vaughn will be up next spring and Abreu will be the full time DH. There is no reason to absolutely clog that up. If Collins/McCann/Mazara/Platoon RF don't cut it, they can trade for a rental if they're contending. If they're not(shudder) then stand pat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
