Bigsoxhurt35 Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 I'm actually ok with not going crazy spending. Would just like to add a couple pen arms and maybe a guy like Melky? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDF Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Nov 14, 2014 -> 03:37 AM) Another reason that there's some concern about the White Sox not spending a lot of money this offseason is that idea we HAVE to find a LH bat and that's at the exclusion of players like Tomas or Moncada who could "blow up the budget." the white sox will spend, they will spend to make this team better. getting a lh bat, while it would help, is not that much of an urgency compare to some other holes.

Whitey Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 ESPN is reporting Tomas to the D-Backs. 6 yr/$68 mil. http://espn.go.com/mlb/story/_/id/11943647...85-million-deal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lillian Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 That's pretty much the same contract Abreu signed, and this guy has not established himself, in Cuba, as anywhere near the hitter that Jose was. Big gamble, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big gamble, IMO. as I mention in the other thread, only time will tell if this was a good deal. they, the sox brass may have saw something or have that money earmark for something or somebody else.

caulfield12 Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 (edited) First significant gamble of the LaRussa Era out in the desert. For a player who profiles almost like a DH war-wise, he'd better have a helluva bat (see Abreu/Victor Martinez).

BaconOnAStick Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Ender Inciarte is a fantastic, relatively cheap, option for the Sox in as a corner OF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultimately Stewart, but it's more (with LaRussa) like the Epstein/Hoyer situation I have a feeling than the KW/Hahn model...or Friedman in LA with Colletti.

ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 QUOTE (Alexeihyeess @ Nov 26, 2014 -> 09:49 PM) Ender Inciarte is a fantastic, relatively cheap, option for the Sox in as a corner OF. Inciarte would be a fantastic defensive addition for us, but he doesn't provide a whole ton of offense. Not a bad offensive player, but below average. Wouldn't mind picking him up on the cheap, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can opt out and become free agent after 4 years. Tomas and #DBacks still finalizing language and signing bonus payment dates. But final terms were agreed upon last night.
