YourWhatHurts Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 What does everyone think? What does he get in FA? Years? AAV? Total dollars? Is it worth maybe trying an under-the-radar move and dealing Madrigal for a RF or SP, then signing Semien? I think Semien would be willing to play 2B. I mean, is 2B really filled? Really?

southsider2k5 Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 Unless he can play RF, no. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrathofhahn Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 Hed be useful as an extra infielder but down year notwithstanding he is gonna get starting offers. So zero interest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NO NO AND NO. NO WAY I'M TRADING MADRIGAL AND HIS 6 years of service for Semien Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides we still need to figure out our pitching and LF/DH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balta1701 Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 Had the white Sox not traded him, a Semien, Tatis, Anderson infield could have dominated 2019 and 2020. Too late for that, and now he’s a terrible fit for us. I have no idea whatsoever what he’s worth this offseason. Between a bad 8 week 2020 season and the revenue drop, he seems in a spot to be massively hurt this year. If owners are being honest about their losses he will get a 1 year deal, but if he is still a 5 win shortstop and you sign him for a couple years he’s a potential huge bargain. But it may be no one has the money for that gamble. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only the value shoppers will be looking for a SS this year. I expect him to return to OAK or sign with the Reds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he was coming off another strong year, and it was a normal market, even with a surplus of SS I'd imagine someone would go 3/$60 or more. This year? I'd rather go make a bet on the election results being overturned than on any number I could come up with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Look at Ray Ray Run Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 8 minutes ago, Chicago White Sox said: There are also a ton of high-end SS’s hitting free agency next in Lindor, Baez, Correa, Story, & Seager.

I think its an almost certainty that he returns to Oakland but im interested in how his market plays out. Id give Marcus 2/30 or 3/48. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
