elrockinMT Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 My question is do we have any angst over not getting Joc and his 30 some homers from the a Dodgers. Seems we were looking at him at one time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomPickle Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 Actually, it is good that the White Sox acquired a worse player in Nomar Mazara. Someone will be by shortly to explain why. 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balta1701 Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 I assumed this was going to be pictures of Joc Pederson captioned by things he is imagining. "If I push enough air into my cheeks I can inflate them to scare away predators". 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxSteve Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 let me be the first to explain it. 5 years of Aaron Bummer and 2 years of Nomar Mazara > 1 year of Joc Pederson and his 233 career Batting average. Also a bird in the hand meaning if the Betts trade doesn't happen( and its not finalized yet) Pederson probably wouldn't be available and we would be stuck with Adam Engle- Luery Garcia RF. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems we were looking at him at one time Much angst from me, but even more for not getting both Joc & Maeda for that price. Maeda is going to be a solid number 3 for our rival. Getting those two was my wish from the end of the World Series. Maeda's contract has White Sox all over it. Plus, I want him to get some justice for all the ways the Dodgers screwed with his bonuses.

CaliSoxFanViaSWside Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 When the trade is actually reported as finished and we know all the moving parts this can be addressed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Allen Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 Joc was available because they upgraded. His price was obviously higher earlier, as they had no MVP level replacement and weren’t looking to move money. But yeah, b**** the Sox didn’t bring Joc in for a year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We actually don't know what the price is yet. All that's been reported is Joc, Strippling and a prospect would go to Angels. Only one player has been reported going the other way.

Reported by who ? James Fox already mentioned he heard it was Bummer. He's the most reliable ear to the Sox FO here and you weren't buying it. So I assume you have a list of guys you would believe who will tell you details of a deal that didn't happen ? That's not asking for much. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn't but you don't want a "Holywood" guy in Chicago. Going to the Angels was the perfect fit for him and his wife. They are more sushi than deep dish.
