beck72 Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 Collins is more likely to be moved and has more value than McCann for a bullpen arm. Iglesias could be a useful arm in return. The Reds might see him being expendable for a long term C like Collins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m all about trading Collins because I do not see a fit long term here with the Sox but not for him, he has more value then a utility infielder who will only start for a couple weeks.

They do seem to have a grip on general baseball intelligence and if they're making shit up at least it is thought provoking. I don't love the burner account that's developed on Twitter but this account in particular doesn't bother me. 16 minutes ago, Dick Allen said: Could have said the same thing about McCann last year.

poppysox Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 Three weeks til Sox Fest and six weeks until Spring Training. Time to get the last pieces in place. Maybe there will be some bargains available soon. Puig is a good possibility as is Sanchez. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Robert up day one, Leury gets less reps - let him get the platoon oops. Sign a 2B like Brad Miller, Brock Holt or Zobrist and go to battle.

My belief is that Mazara was brought in to be the full time right fielder. Puig is intriguing because of the Cuban connection and probable low price tag. Can't help but be curious if Jose & Yoan could unlock Puig's potential. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiSox59 Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 Just now, fathom said: You know you want Castellanos I think it’s a terrible fit as I’ve stated many times, but if his market has cratered I won’t complain. If they can get him on like 3/$45M deal it would be fun for 2020, but I just hope they plan to trade him next offseason if it’s more than a 1 year deal. But I cannot imagine a 1 year deal being possibility worth discussing. That said, I don’t think the Sox acquired Mazara to not play and I don’t think they’ll give Castellanos the 4 years and close to $70M it will require to be a platoon player. And I don’t think they signed EE to do anything less than DH as much as he’s able. It’s the ultimate example of forcing a fit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago White Sox Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 1 hour ago, Lillian said: This acquisition of Fernandez could simply be about organizational depth. McCann will likely be gone by 2021, at the latest. Having a solid defensive catcher in the system, makes sense. It's premature to read much more into this move. We'll see. Has this move even been officially reported? I can't seem to find anything, to confirm it. He’s a minor league free agent, I don’t think we’d have control of Fernandez after the 2020 season unless he agrees to it. This is a move about 2020 and with Collins, Zavala, & Mercedes already in the catching mix, this does suggest a corresponding move is coming.

Didn't want him before Mazara, and is definitely a poor fit now. On top of Puig's red flags. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a move about 2020 and with Collins, Zavala, & Mercedes already in the catching mix, this does suggest a corresponding move is coming. If Fernandez is good on defense, I think it does. If the Sox were to trade McCann, they would be very thin at defensive backstop with Collins, Mercedes, and Zavala. None of those three is known for their catching skills.

His prediction is a lot harder than most. If the penalty is anywhere near what he predicts, I will believe he is a lot closer to what he claims to be than the consensus right now.
