Unless I am mistaken, the White Sox have the top waiver claim priority right now due to having the worst win/loss record last year.  So Canario should be with the White Sox within a week, if Getz isn’t a complete and utter moron.

And there is no need for Jankowski as you already have Taylor to backup CF.  And Jankowski being a lefty bat shouldn’t really factor in as he can’t hit for s%*# regardless of his handedness.

Wutup Canario ?

I don’t get the appeal. The cubs traded him for cash. The Mets DFA’d him for nothing. Are the Sox going to figure out something different? Because they’re so good at developing hitters. Far as I can tell, his only selling point is he’s 24.

He was dfa'd because he's out of options and those teams are full of outfielders, whereas the Sox have several vets who are useless to Sox beyond this year while their couple of viable prospects are two years away

If this is the case, the Sox have no hope anyways.

Prove to me that he’s more useful than Oscar colas. Every team wants good players. If you’re any good, you’re not getting traded for cash. Either that or you’re a gambler (see: Popeye). 

Mets outfield situation isn’t great. The cubs wouldn’t want a future guy to replace one of their grandpas in the corners? 
 

we just DFA’d two outfielders who recently “had potential” but busted. I’d prefer fletcher’s bust profile over canario’s. At least fletcher has one mlb level skill.

That isn’t the point.  Prove to me that mid 30’s veteran outfielders like Tauchman, Taylor, Slater, and Jankowski are worth starting on a losing team.

Will you be excited when they lead the Sox to a 60 win season as opposed to a 55 win season?

If you fail as much as Hahn and Getz have at finding a good corner outfielder, do you just stop trying?

I guess I’d rather have him than jankowski or any of the veterans…but like I just alluded to, why Canario over colas or fletcher?

Expand  

He’s 2 to 3 years younger and Getz isn’t giving those two guys anymore chances, which isn’t any of our choices…  whether you want to see Colas and Fletcher again or not.

Seems like they all are just bad is my point. I wouldn’t have signed Jankowski and em, I would want to see what colas could do over an entire season. Or try out Sosa or Baldwin in the outfield. There’s sort of a “glut” of infield players who may or may not be able to play.

Colas was like doing nothing, but it would be amusing to watch the first -15 WAR player in mlb history.

So what is your beef then?  That was the exact transaction I suggested?  Jankowski for Canario.

Expand  

My beef is that it’s not even a discussion lol. They both strike me as bad and we already had two “bad” players beforehand who play the same position who we cut.

I’m all for signing “could be” guys over “has been” as a principle, but I think all the players being discussed are just really bad. Canario in particular has had a few opportunities. More than Colas. Maybe he isn’t such a head case.

You are wrong.  Look at their stats again.

Also, take a look at which player performed better in a very tiny sample size and which player was worse in 301 plate appearances.

Also take a look at which player is 2 years younger.

Google isn’t that difficult.

Obviously, they could both be bad.  But I’ll give a chance to the 24-year old outfielder with plus power when our current outfielders are Benintendi, Taylor, Tauchman, Slater, and Jankowski — basically a pile of my son’s old crusty socks.

If it were up to me, I'd dump all the vet outfielders in favor of Colas, Fletcher and Canario. Colas and Fletcher are still in org so they're not even relevant to question of whether they should have dumped somebody like Janowski for Canario

Mlb.com still showing no transaction related to Canario, although it shows Azocar cleared and outrighted yesterday. Doesn't there have to be some sort of transaction completed after dfa window?

Expand  

The Mets have up to 5 days since DFA’ing Canario to trade him.  He was DFA’ed on Thursday so they can take up to 2 more days to seek a trade.  The Mets don’t have to use the entire 5 days if they can’t find an interested trade partner and can dump him to waivers immediately.  In any case, after a maximum of 5 days or sooner, he goes on waivers for 48 hours.  The White Sox have #1 waiver claim priority.  If news comes out that Canario was outrighted to the Mets minors, that means no team put in a waiver claim for him.

No, but thanks for sharing!

The Sox should be looking for any decent outfielder with a pulse considering they just started Jankowski in RF and Maton at DH.  And yes, I know that Tauchman will be back soon.

Expand  

Yeah you’re cutting an OF when Tauchman comes back anyway so why not just claim him over Jankowski and try to sneak him through later? Who knows, an injury can even lead to playing time and a need.
