SoCalSox Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Sounds stupid but the fact that Hayes is confirming it & Merkin confirmed interest in both he & Fowler last night tells me that something is close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GGajewski18 Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 QUOTE (Tony @ Feb 11, 2016 -> 05:45 PM) Dan Hayes just confirmed. https://twitter.com/CSNHayes/status/697928034154782721 The Sox want this out there. What that means, you can make your own interpretation. How I take it is that the Sox interest is for real. Hayes tweets that Sox and Desmond are "in talks" not considering or anything like that, but actually discussing possible contract. If I had to guess, Desmond is on the White Sox by the end of the weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree, if the local beat writers are confirming stuff then things are coming to a conclusion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunt Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 (edited) "In talks with" sounds more like contract talk time than kicking the tires on him IMO. This is getting interesting. Edited February 11, 2016 by Dunt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago White Sox Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 If we do in fact add Desmond, we still need to add another OF to at least challenge Avi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whisox05 Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Chisox being smart, opportunistic to look at desmond. As @CSNHayes points out, he averaged 3.8 war last 4 yrs, best for a SS https://twitter.com/JonHeyman/status/697931895577952256 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Sox get Desmond, which outfielder would they go after in a trade? It sounds like the interest in Ethier was overstated and I don't know who else would be available on the trade market.

Chisoxfn Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 You know...if the Sox add Desmond, this would be more turnover than I can remember in our lineup in a long time. If they somehow get Desmond and another outfielder, wow. Makes me excited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we can trade a reliever for an OF bat like Desmond Jennings. If we sign Desmond we will be one over the 40-man roster. That, coupled with our excess of bullpen arms, might mean a trade is part of Hahn's plan. I like Jennings, but he plus Desmond would really make us an RH hitting team.

Over the 40 man limit doesn't really matter. There are about 5-6 guys that could clear waivers. LH OFers available off the top of my head: Ethier, Venable, Crawford, and Bradley Jr. I'm sure i'm missing others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
