If we were to acquire him, our pro scouts better be certain he can at least be average there next year. Wong led MLB in errors from 2b last year. It was a big surge in errors for him compared to the previous year, but it was a return to what he did early in his career. With him next to Anderson in the IF, and Vaughn’s lack of range (can’t say anything good or bad about him receiving throws yet), there would be a good chance of a super sloppy infield next year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it is Rick Hahn we are talking about. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the low low price of $10M, the Sox could quite possibly have the worst INF defence to go along with the slowest corner OF’s in the game! That Rick Han sure knows how to light stacks of money on fire in new and creative ways. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And will they be requesting no top 30 prospects in return? If so, then I’m interested. Wong doesn't have a ton of surplus value since $10 million is basically his market value. I'd imagine the Brewers would just want a lottery prospect back if they don't eat the money. Milwaukee is also looking to dump salary, so I don't see them picking up $10 million for prospects. I can see the Brewers wanting someone like Jake Burger to platoon with Rowdy Tellez. Edited November 23, 2022 by chw42 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I don't think they picked up the option hoping they would get some sort of a great return for him. I think they just didn't want to pay the buyout either.

ChiSox59 Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 If the budget is $200M, go ahead. If it’s $180M, don’t waste the $10M. Go get a LH RF and a decent SP. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see the Brewers wanting someone like Jake Burger to platoon with Rowdy Tellez. I think Burger to the Brewers makes a ton of sense. With Renfoe traded and Taylor likely sliding to the OF there is also a massive hole at DH now. I’d prefer a young pitcher like Gasser vs. Wong though.

ChiSox59 Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 I think I might prefer to keep Burger as Moncada injury insurance than acquire 1 year of Wong at market value. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 If we are talking about someone who isn't an important piece of the future, this wouldn't be the worst thing. Of course, we will turn him into a RF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CWSpalehoseCWS Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 Not thrilled with a potential Wong addition with a limited payroll.
