caulfield12 Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 (edited) http://sports.yahoo.com/news/mlb-free-agen...WQDBHNlYwNzYw-- When I say unproven, I meant the lack of history of translating those huge KBO numbers to MLB. Just Choo and now Kang. Essentially the Korean version of Abreu...with a less lofty valuation. Indians, Rays, Cardinals cited here as the best fits or matches, so at least six or seven possible landing spots.

BlackSox13 Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Nov 6, 2015 -> 07:38 PM) They have Josh Bell knocking on the door though. I bet it's Colorado. I forgot about Bell and that Colorado just parted ways with Morneau. Colorado might be a good bet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackSox13 Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 "SATURDAY: Neither the Indians nor the Tigers submitted the winning bid for Park, via MLB.com’s Jordan Bastian and MLive.com’s Chris Iott (on Twitter). The Indians did bid for Park, although their bid came up short; the Tigers did not bid for him." Per MLBTR That eliminates two teams.

Whisox05 Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 Taking it one step further: Source says Red Sox are not the team with winning Byung-Ho Park bid, plan to stick with Hanley Ramirez at 1B. https://twitter.com/JeffPassan/status/663138681188827136 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure we can safely rule out Cubs (Rizzo), Dodgers (Gonzalez), Giants (Belt/Posey), Diamondbacks (Goldschmidt), Nats (Zimmerman gets at bats here as the starter), Braves (Freeman unless they plan on dealing him), Brewers (LuCroy gets at bats here along with Lind as starter), Twins (logjam between 1B/3B/DH) and most likely us. I'm thinking either Pirates, Marlins, Mariners or Rockies. Edited November 8, 2015 by soxfan2014 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago White Sox Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 Any chance the Sox might be involved? There's been absolutely no noise on this, but if we're looking for ways to improve the offense without giving up a draft pick, this may be one of the best potential ways. Would obviously create a logjam at 1B/DH next year, but that would be a one year problem and we could probably move LaRoche if we ate $5M or so. I know it's very unlikely, but I'm desperate for offensive upgrades that are bigger than David Freese. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it's very unlikely, but I'm desperate for offensive upgrades that are bigger than David Freese. and that is why i was thinking of Pitt. I read somewhere that Pitt bosses are not sure which way they will go, either pick up players and some key one and go for it, or blow up the team. the way i am looking at, the NL Central, that is going to be one tough division. you have Stl Scrubs with the talent. now Mil has it sabers rattling to make some noise in being ready to pick up some key players to make a push. so what will Pitt do??? if it is to take a yr off and let some of their prospect develop, a trade with them for laroche to 1b plus as you said, 5 mil and a sox sp prospect of danish or beck to sweeten the pot. Pitt still needs pitching and their 1 b replacement is 1 yr away, so now they will not need to rush him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
