If they thought someone was going to jump at that contract, they would have traded him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worse that happens is he pitches like a #5. Best is he could contend for our #2. He very likely is appreciatively better than whatever Q will give us. 11 minutes ago, whitesoxbrad said: do not want him, going to be 37 very soon and injury prone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This year I think that’s 100% true. If Brad Hand is a top 5 reliever in the AL and no one will pay him $10 million, then Morton isn’t going to get the kind of money that will make him come back...especially if the league has no idea what it will look like in April yet. Of course if he really liked both Hinch and Keuchel he might have helped them out for a year, but.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hi8is Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 Sports Illustrated listed the top 50 free agents and has us as “best fits” for Brad Hand and Ozuna. If that was our free agent pool and we traded for two starting pitchers, I could be happy. It won’t go down that way though, more likely than not.

They could have claimed him at a decent price today with no competition. I would love Ozuna but Nightengale mentioned Brantley and Morton. I think he has proven he has his hand on the pulse of the White Sox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can do a Eloy, Brantley, Vaughn, Abreu cycle of LF, DH and 1B. Or you can trade Vaughn for a SP. Edited October 31, 2020 by Orlando Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's LF/DH only for me and they don't really need that after Vaughn is ready Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago White Sox Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 Fangraphs has posted their contract predictions for the top 50 free agents! If Jerry is willing to spend some money to please his buddy Tony, damn could we clean up this offseason. Some of these prices are well below expectations. https://blogs.fangraphs.com/2021-top-50-free-agents/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
