Whisox05 Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 Last and only few times I heard the white sox connection with him was supposedly abreu trying to sell him to hahn. Other then that nothing on being at or holding work outs for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigsoxhurt35 Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 @georgeofman: Look for White Sox to bid high for Cuban free agent Yasmany Tomas. Power corner outfielder who knows Abreu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baron Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 (edited) I'll guess the Padres. But let us not forget...we didnt hear anything about Jose Abreu until he was close to signing. There was some speculation at first that we would be involved but nothing concrete. I dont think it will be us but it wouldnt be that surprising.

BigHurt3515 Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 Why would any hitter go to the Padres? If they do get him they must have offered him a lot more money and a starting position Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would think after seeing the success of Abreu he would want to come here or a hitter's friendly park.. But it is probably all about the money with him and his agent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think it will be us but it wouldnt be that surprising. There was a ton of speculation about the Sox being a leader from Abreu from day one. Outside of a few stray tweets, I haven't seen anything for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackSox13 Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 I doubt very seriously the sox sign Tomas. I am curious who he signs with. Most rumors have him tabbed for Philly which sounds about right. I doubt the Padres level of interest since Tomas has to play the field in the NL and then consider playing in the big spacious outfields in the NLW, yikes. Considering Tomas is speculated to get 12-15M annually, I'll tank Viciedo and his 4M thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
