I see he’s signed through 2022 for A LOT. German Marquez is who I like best from Colorado, they got him for a great contract. Too bad for him, they have nothing else to build around. May as well burn down the mission there, send Story, Blackmon and Gray to the Dodgers, they are the only team not bothered by the absurd "luxury" tax.

Definitely not a coincidence as the FO knows for a fact what the fan reaction would be to this Escobar news. Turn to mouthpiece Bob to leak the possibility of Story within 5 minutes of the Escobar story coming out. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Sacamano Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 I’m just not that excited about Story. But I’d prefer to watch him as a starting 2B than Leury. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 (edited) Leury hit an unsustainable tremendous since Madrigal went down. Mendick can't hit at all. They are really going to regret not filling that hole if they pass. One can hope the reason Escobar isn't a White Sox is because someone better is coming.

Lol Letting Escobar go for nothing on the chance you might get a guy who can be better but has major concerns right now: Great example of letting perfect be the enemy if the good. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given the Escobar cost, it would be an absolute no-brainer to snag him. At that price, and needing a 2B, it would be a fireable offense for Hahn not to replace Leury/Mendick with a MLB 2B. I take the Escobar deal as good news, because it means the Sox are definitely aiming higher (especially if you believe Story can get back on track). Semien, Schoop, and "it'll never happen" Trea Turner still out there. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eminor3rd Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 The problem is if the Sox have to give up something significant for Story, then it still would have been better to get Escobar. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 The question is if the Sox trade for Story will not cishek delete his no big fish tweet like he did others thar suggest he isn't quite what he claims? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomPickle Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 Looks like Gallo is going to the Yankees. Maybe Story is a real possibility. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The optimist in me believes that has to be the case, but until it happens the fear of Leury striking out in a big situation to end our playoff run looms large.

And letting a fine player go to Milwaukee for nothing just in case you get that done = passing on a good deal to hope for a perfect one.

bmags Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 Obviously if they get story I’ll be pumped and root like hell, and there is a chance he turns around and goes on fire. But it is more nervewrecking. DA will love this…feels like a KW move fr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
