MyNamesRod Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 i wouldn’t hate the move. But it does tell us that they aren’t trying to win next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't see how you'd give up more than that. Yea. I don't think I'd be upset with a return like that. Just such an underwhelming move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The epiphany is...they aren’t trying to win period! Mint $, pretend to try (like the cheapskate who reaches for his wallet and pretends he’s willing to pay), and keep going. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A dip in production next year and he's a non-tender candidate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t like this move, but if it happens, I’ll try to reserve judgment until I see how the entire offseason unfolds. If it means we spend big on pitching, I’ll be fine with it.

soxfan3530 Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 Serious question. Is Mazara an upgrade over Leury? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daggins Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 .844 OPS against RHP last year. Find him a platoon partner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 2016 this guy was a consensus top 20 prospect.BP had him at 5. His manager was on MLBN yesterday and said it was pretty much put up or shut up time for him.will only be 25. As we saw, can hit it a mile. Worth the gamble if it is for what some have speculated. But I can also see why this would be kind of a downer for some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both aren’t any good so why not grab the guy that has a small chance of breaking out? Calhoun isn’t going to take the Sox to the playoffs so there’s no point.

GermanSoxFan Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 (edited) Walker for Mazara is something I would be okay(as in not wanting to chase down some xanax with some scotch) with. He can DH against righties. They still need a real outfielder though. Edited December 11, 2019 by GermanSoxFan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This guy is a 2nd year arbitration eligible player who we might well let go after 1 year because in 2021 he'd make $7-$8 million. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisox378 Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 Like everyone said, it depends who we give up. Straight up for Fulmer and either Basabe, Adolfo, or Rutherford(which I hope not) may be a fair deal. But even so like I said, we have this player in our minor league system, Rutherford may be able to duplicate Mazara. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
