bigred3535 Posted December 13, 2003 Share Posted December 13, 2003 If you think about recent history, KW (and even Schuler in his final years) tended to make at least one big offseason move, and usually it's come as at least something of a surprise to most of us. Belle, Wells, Ritchie, Colon, etc...Anyway, I was wondering if anyone had any ideas about who KW might be secretly pursuing or who they'd like to see him secretly pursuing. Also, with many players liable to be non-tendered in January, which under the radar signings (i.e. Esteban Loaiza) do you think the Sox should make. P.S. That non-tender thing reminds me that if Garcia doesn't get traded there's a good chance the Mariners will cut him loose and the Sox could get him without giving up anyone in return, so unless they're giving up almost nothing, I don't the Sox should trade for him.

southsider2k5 Posted December 16, 2003 Share Posted December 16, 2003 I really think that is why this rumor hasn't been hotter. I think the Sox would like a shot at Garcia, but they aren't going to give up a lot for a guy who could be had a hell of a lot cheaper soon.

winninguglyin83 Posted December 16, 2003 Share Posted December 16, 2003 There's a bit of risk involved there, though. we won't be the only one to bid for him. and the flow of players seems to be away from 35th and Dan Ryan not towards The Cell. At some point, the Sox need to make a smart move to energize the environment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the middle of December and there is at least another 4 weeks to make a deal. I don't doubt for a moment Kenny has a big trade or two in mind....Konerko and Ordonez are just two examples. Everything KW does from then on, will depend on whether or not he'll be able to shed 33 Mill dollars worth of Koch, Valentin and the above two would you agree?

SnB Posted December 16, 2003 Share Posted December 16, 2003 i'm positive that we will come into spring training with some new players. KW always seems to pull something out of his ass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
