We play righties 70%+ of the time and the rest of the lineup are lefty killers so we would be just fine against them even with Joc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I rather have the guy who can hit both LH and RH pitchers, at an offensive MVP level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drake Is Our Leader Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 My best estimate of the situation: Gomez is someone who has had some scoops, yes (Eloy extension). But he probably also has been identified as someone who will run to social media with anything you give him. So agents will use him to drum up talk.

SonofaRoache Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 1 hour ago, Jose Abreu said: If it helps anyone, this is what I know of Gomez's history with the Sox: 2018-2019: Continuously said that he believed Machado would sign with White Sox. Stated that Sox offered 8 years, $250 million. Chicago media went out in full force to tell him he was wrong about the offer (they believed it was $175 million). Obviously, he ended up being right about the offer, but wrong about him signing here. March 2019: First reporter to announce that Eloy Jimenez and the Sox were working on an extension, which was official within a week. December 2019: Retweeted a fellow reporter (Frank Castillo) who believed Marcell Ozuna was signing with the White Sox. Gomez was not the reporter who said Ozuna would sign, he just said he believed in his colleague's info. To be fair. Machado may have had the Sox at the top of his list at that point. The Padres came in at the end with 300 million to steal it. If he says that we are in on Cruz I believe it completely. He has ties to those guys and no reason to lie. Now if he is being used by an agent for leverage that isn't his fault. But the fact that he said a few days means something is truly up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orlando Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 Hector was definitely trying to translate the other guys tweet. The only times he has been wrong is when he trusts these small time reporters and tweets out their scoops. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thxfrthmmrs Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 Am I the only one who thinks the good news Hector is hinting is extension for either Gio or Lynn. Frankly, I give a La Stella signing a better chance over Cruz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
