greg775 Posted December 25, 2024 Share Posted December 25, 2024 My view is different. In fact, I'm upset the Sox didn't sign him to a minor league deal. The chances of Eloy making it are the same as say, Robert, who also has proven nothing. In another throwaway season coming up, why didn't we reacquire Eloy. He still looks good in a uniform so to speak and if he's gonna save his career with a breakout year, why not with the Sox. Risk/reward. We should have picked him up. Cmon. He'd be as good as anybody we currently have for the outfield. Beni, Robert and Eloy on paper "again" would be potentially a winning threesome. Potentially. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted December 25, 2024 Share Posted December 25, 2024 I would bet money that if the Sox would be the last team Eloy would sign a MiLB deal with after hearing his comments while with the Os Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5732045/2024/08/30/baltimore-orioles-eloy-jimenez-white-sox-trade/ McGuffey called him out pretty directly when he was traded...but there's no other word but disappointment for 2021-2024, four consecutive seasons where he underachieved or simply wasn't available to play. Plus you had the negative optics of often jogging down to 1B to preserve what remained of his health.

Expand Money/greed/fame is a great motivation for players...especially when the gravy train of "easy money" on that early extension came to an abrupt end. Why the White Sox "coddled" their players and DIDN'T force them to get into the "greatest shape of their lives" over the off seasons is a question best addressed to Hahn and Getz, especially in the past cases of Anderson (more off-field distractions), Grandal, Lynn, Rodon, Jimenez, Moncada, etc. Edited February 13 by caulfield12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
