Wisebri224 Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 As all of this bargain shopping and waiting goes on in hopes the market cools, I know we are setting up for Abreu/Vaughn to be DH 2021, but what about now? McCann as DH meh. Still could do your "big" spend on Castellanos and still trade for Joc. You have big bats every day and outslug people.....for now. As far as pitching goes, unless you pull one of the deals many have listed like Price on salary dump, etc., you go out and sign some guys to 1-2 year deals that have had prior success like Roark, Porcello, Teheran, Miley and hope 2 of your young guys are ready my the All Star break. If not, you explore teams looking to dump at that point. I just don't think Grandal can be your only significant signing of the winter and call it a success. I know they have tried to spend, but something else needs to be closed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume at least 2 of Vaughn, Madrigal, Dunning with some other high-upside flyers? definetely wouldn't take 2 of those guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at Ray Ray Run Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 It'll never happen, but it would be awesome and hilarious if the White Sox traded for Kris Bryant to be their RF of the future. Most agree that he won't be at 3rd base long term, with his size. Sox could offer a Madrigal, Vaughn, Stiever, and wild card like Hansen/Adolfo etc and might be able to even get it done. Sox would obviously have to be committed to signing him, but that would be great lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just sign Rendon and give up no assets if thats your plan. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
username Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 Idk, I really doubt it'll take 2 top 30 prospects plus serious value. The packages I've seen tossed around are not near that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear you, but at the same time they would fill the RF gap that they are considering spending 15-18 million a year on anyway. So the upgrade to Bryant is about another 12 million. You'd have to replace Madrigal, but the other pieces aren't really locked into the future with the way the team is constructed. Vaughn is, but at the same time maybe Collins pans out and saves you from having to invest in that position heavily. I'd be happy as a clam if they got Bryant - assuming they were set on signing him obviously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DurhamStance Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 Just thinking about where we'd be right now (as a fanbase) if they hadn't signed Grandal. You can already see the team/media reminding everyone about that, which, was a very good signing, but only one step in making this a successful offseason in what is the most important offseason in recent memory. Without Grandal, the reality is we're likely going into the season with a nearly identical roster as to last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orlando Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 I don't know why he wants such a good spot. Everyone: "So, what is going on with Cole and Rendon?" McGuffy: " I am part of a random White Sox podcast. Can you tell us how the Sox will offer most for Kuechel and still miss out?" 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We would be getting absolutely hosed on that trade, punting tons of future value. That trade package could get you an extremely good player under long term control Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
