Bob Sacamano Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 (edited) Figured these guys could use a thread for any news and rumors (whether trade or dfa lol). I was hopeful we could spin one or two of them off for something useful (lotto tickets) but have been having doubts lately.

I think Holland you'll be able to do that with, at least as a 6th starter/mop up/3rd lefty out of the pen to a contender. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superstar Lamar Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 I would bet Gonzalez would get that look before Holland. We are getting to the people that will only provide salary relief, which means nothing to us as fans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are getting to the people that will only provide salary relief, which means nothing to us as fans I could see Gonzalez go too, and Shields has a reputation as a big game pitcher, though regardless of how the Sox traded him, they'd struggle to get anything of relevance.

Middle Buffalo Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 Shields clearly has little left as a starter. Does he have any ability to close? As a guy with a big game reputation, it seems that he'd be able to handle the pressure. Does he have the stuff to close? I think I'd give it a try.

southsider2k5 Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 These guys have all gone to s*** at exactly the wrong time. We might be stuck with all of them. If they were free agents at minimum salary, I am still not sure anyone would pick them up. Edit: Except for Miguel Gonzalez. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 DJ Carassco former White Sox reliever, is now a Dodgers scout. He came to Wrigley today to see Gonzalez. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superstar Lamar Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 Gonzalez has given up two runs in 13.1 innings against two highly likely playoff teams. He gets a third this weekend with Cleveland. I think if he can throw another great game, he is going to be sought after by more than one team before Monday afternoon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flavum Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 17 hours to go. One more, Rick. Miguel Gonzalez. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hoping Gonzo to a team needing a 5th starter uograde and Holland to a team looking to add a loogy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
