Chisoxfn Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 And if so, would you be interested in taking on his contract if you were the White Sox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 (edited) This seems exactly like the kind of desperate all-in move we’d see from the White Sox one year from now if they don’t finish with over 80 wins. Right now, the front office and local media can still probably sell the fanbase on this as one last “transition” year to competitiveness.

bmags Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 It depends. On one hand, it would be doing yankees a favor. One good thing we've learned is the lux tax is real and effective, and with the cole deal the yankees will have to dance with it in the coming years. So in theory that leaves players the sox can go for in FA. In theory, in practice they just can't seem to do it. So then there's him. Severely flawed but the potential to be so productive. I don't know though, I actually have more reservations on a long term deal with him than basically anyone else. He really could become difficult to shed if he starts to physically deteriorate as maybe was the case last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soxnfins Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 If they paid for $164M of his contract I’d think about it... so essentially no Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bschmaranz Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 Only thing that keeps me from punching this idea in the balls is the fact that Stanton had a historically insane season when he worked with Frank Menechino. But yeah, outside that, too much money, too many injury bugs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldsox Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 Doesn't he still have his No Trade Clause? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominikk85 Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 Wouldn't do it. He misses 30-50 games every season and with age that will get worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
