Chicago White Sox Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 If the Pirates are actually out, then the Astros or Sox are the favorites IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigsoxhurt35 Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 @Buster_ESPN: This is not a confirmation, but some rival evaluators believe that Oakland won the bidding for Byung-ho Park. Again: Not confirmation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how they can be serious players for him, it's not free agency. They either bid or they didn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiSoxFanMike Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 I'll never understand why the Rockies don't get guys like this. Even mediocre guys put up good numbers at Coors, so why don't they try to stack their lineup consistently like the Jays did this year? It literally makes no sense to me.

Seems like a total White Sox move. Take a chance on a guy that may produce for less money than top free agents. The LaRoche contract makes it a little murky, but as I said earlier, the Sox had 3 1B/DH 2 seasons ago, so it's not like it's out of the realm of possibility.

I think if we get this guy or an outfielder, they have every intention of ridding themselves of LaRoche. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think so, but I'm 99% sure that the Cubs, Brewers, Phillies, and Reds aren't interested in him.

Reds and Cubs dont need a 1B, so neither of those make sense. Phillies and Brewers are in full rebuilds. So I have this down to a 3 team race.

That leaves us with: White Sox, Twins, Astros I would rule the Cubs out due to Rizzo/Bryant and the Reds due to Votto/Frazier, but I wouldn't say the same about the Reds or Phillies. Also, the Twins have Mauer and Sano, so I don't think they'd be interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That being said, the Sox probably should be rebuilding too but we all know that they won't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiSoxFanMike Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 If the Astros get this guy, maybe the Sox could pry Jonathan Singleton away from them. He seems like a good change of scenary candidate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigsoxhurt35 Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Certainly would be interesting considering there's a 30 day negotiating window and we'd have 30 days to deal with LaDunn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jose Abreu Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 I haven't watched any of his footage or read his scouting report because I didn't think we'd actually be one of the few teams not ruled out of winning the bidding. Better go do that now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
