But, yeah, I'm very surprised they haven't signed a trash heaper yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t believe the Sox wouldn’t give him one if he really looked as great as all these reporters keep saying. Which means not only do the Sox owe him money, they would have also had to cut someone to make space for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just not ever going to be nice to hard carl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean lopez or Crochet with Rodon moving into bullpen. It's eating this flex fifth starter position which is about whether people believe that Rodon deserves that handed to him.

Dick Allen Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 Bottom line is this one shouldn’t hurt. Way more likely than not Folty can’t help the White Sox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the bigger issue is not being able to scrape together $3 million if their scouting likes a guy to rebound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will see if that really is the issue. You would think if their scouts thought he was going to be the 2018 Folty, JR, I think would gladly cough up $3 million.They have to sign someone.

It takes two to tangle. Maybe the guy wants a legit shot at sticking on a rotation for a full season, something the Sox can't guaranteed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Y2Jimmy0 Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 Rodon is on the team. That’s 5 starters. 8 relievers easily. If Folty struggles, he’s out of options. Cant be sent down. It’s just not realistic on a big league deal. Not here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And again in order to do it, you are probably cutting someone else who could help the team this year in order to get him in on that major league deal.

It's not really that disappointing the Sox missed out on him. Edited February 6, 2021 by manbearpuig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
