SoCalChiSox Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 Id rather go 1/10 on EE than give Castellanos a 4 year deal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiSox59 Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 Woof. Thought we dodged this bullet. It sounds OK for 2020, but long term just such a bad fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vote4Pedro Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 Castellanos is the guy that fits the team the best in the long run. Get the deal done Hahn and call it and move onto the bullpen 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mqr Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 This lineup would get really rigid for the next 4 years and I’m not in love with the idea of doing that in 2020. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What if his market cratered though? That's one option here. What if sox take the 2nd round pick grenade and give him a 1 year pillow deal a la cubs with Fowler?

There are pros and cons to that. If they sign Castellanos, that pretty much means Vaughn is a trade chip, as 1B/DH are both clogged with Abreu/Castellanos.

If Vaughn has a generational bat, you hope all three produce and likely flip Castellanos in the end. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iWiN4PreP Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 Woah this is awesome news. Get Cast and this team really has a shot in 2020. Cast would rake in Guranteed Rate. I didn't think they had the balls to go after Cast after Keuchel and Grandal... will see what happens, but I'd be happy with Puig and/or EE, but I'd be super happy with Cast. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd bet some jobs could possibly be on the line. Or JR just wants to at least see the playoffs again before he's dead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mqr Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 (edited) It's weird now being at a point where I receive the news of maybe adding an actual solid Major League Baseball player and thinking meh we'll be fine if not better off without him.

Yup, and then they have an awesome trade chip with Vaughn to go get another pitcher, should they need one. After watching that MLBN video, I'm pretty excited about Mazara. I've always liked him. I kind of don't want them spending money on Castellanos because they're going to need to lock up Giolito/Moncada (and possibly Mazara if he takes a step forward) Edited December 23, 2019 by Jack Parkman 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vote4Pedro Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 Of the two I think Castellanos fits better in terms of years of control and he can do more than just DH. He can play the corner OF and possibly back up 1B if needed. Rumors are that he likes Chicago. He would be my target and have Encarnacion as plan B 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
