He is going somewhere to be a full time DH or a desperate team's outfielder. He’d be smart to wait until NL makes a decision. He would be a great fit for the other NL Central teams.

Chicago White Sox Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 3 hours ago, Jack Parkman said: If they can find a spot for all three of Vaughn, Eloy and Abreu, then sure they can keep him. My opinion is that Vaughn is blocked until Abreu is no longer starting. I'm not sure I want a butcher in LF and a well below average defender at 1B. You can deal with one of those, but not both. Abreu was a well below defender at 1B last year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they could spend $5M and get an extra year of service from Vaughn, why wouldn't they? Because that’s $5M less than can spend elsewhere on the roster?

Yeah, I mean until there's fans in the stands Grandal territory is top dollar in years and money for Jerry. I don't think he's willing to go any longer than 4 years and any higher than 18-19M AAV on a single contract until things get back to normal revenue wise. The MLB owners are going to use the pandemic to lay the hammer down on the MLBPA and I do not expect a 2022 season at this point. The MLB owners and MLBPA are probably not anywhere close to the same planet. Each side thinks the other is on Uranus.

maxjusttyped Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 Dahl is a possible option if the Sox truly aren't looking to spend significant $ on Springer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
