Chicago White Sox Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 Just now, TheFutureIsNear said: Backup C Utility bench player/DH until Vaughn is called up Resign Colome or a free agent RP capable of pitching in the 8th inning Vet SP for very cheap/minor league deal to compete for 5th spot/depth Flier on a cheap RP or 2 for depth/competition, probably minor league deals. Anyone see moves beyond this happening? I see two more relatively big additions coming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can easily see them Brandon Morrow at this point. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No shit. Thought Sox would have Q, Hendriks, and Brantley wrapped up by 10. WTF? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No reason to think that still isn't the case when two of those are checked off at budget prices. That leaves RP, SP and another bat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lineup is full but the roster isn't. Vaughn situation hasn't changed since the Sox said what their off season targets were, I don't see any reason why that would haved changed. With Vaughn you have nine guys plus Leury and Engel. Add a catcher. That still leaves room for another bat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gallo is... not enticing. And Lynn really isn't either. IMO, sign Adam Eaton and Dahl, give up no prospects, and that is a whole lot better than Gallo. 1 down 1 to go.

kwill Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 (edited) Am I the only one who would prefer James Paxton to Jose Quintana. I guess my thought its you already have 3 innings eaters in the rotation so you can gamble a bit with higher upside.

Also if the money is right they could do Q as long relief/swing man. Or someone else. Extra insurance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hogan873 Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 We were worried that the winter meetings would be a non-event based on the fact they were slow last year and they are virtual last year. And, they are pretty slow this year except for the Sox. I expect/hope at least one more move this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
