wegner Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 Since we are speculating. I will guess that they are signing Gio Gonzalez...and then trading him again next week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be fine with it if it is reasonable. He has some red flags, but it wouldn't be the worst thing to happen. Edit: NVM. I didn't realize he has a qualifying offer attached to him. Screw that.

Baron Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 58 minutes ago, ChiliIrishHammock24 said: No, I'm not ready. I don't want to steal BW's scoop. I already DID message him earlier. I would have made a new thread if I just wanted attention. And don't act like no one has ever posted "👀👀" before without divulging all of the information they have. Even Buehrle Wood said "that's all I have" and then later came back with more info that a White Sox exec was called home early from holiday to address business. I'm just trying not to steal BW's thunder, but I also want to be on the record that I had a scoop from the same source that some have doubted from a couple of weeks ago. If BW doesn't get back to me by tonight, or doesn't think it's related, then I'll go ahead and post a new thread tonight with the scoop, considering it's possible something happens tomorrow. Until then, feel free to ignore it. No reason to get all upset. EDIT: All this being said, it's not some blockbuster move. Another reason why I didn't both making a thread for it. It would just be another piece. I too think the White Sox will sign another player...in the future for sure....maybe even this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Allen Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 If it is something they would wait until Saturday to announce, chances are it would be Avi or Shields or Davidson. Someone of that ilk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vote4Pedro Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 This is hilarious.....I think people want something else to talk about other than the daily Harper and Machado mudslinging, so I would be happy to hear some bullpen addition as well. My take is Ottavino, although I’d like it to be Britton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may be in the minority, but unless it’s just an instantly horrible deal, I’d like it. 3/$50M would be a great get for Pollock in my opinion. Yes he’s a risk, but we have nothing in CF for the most optimistic a year and a half. Who knows if Robert can hack it in CF or stay healthy enough himself. Engel is a fine 2nd division 4th/5th OF because he is very good out there, but he’s the poorest of poor man Kiermaier. Pollock has shown the ability to be a very good regular at the big league level. For $50M, I think it’s a good move. If it turns out we have too many OF in 2020, that’s not the worst thing in the world. Sign me up. But I’d consider that a major move and it doesn’t seem to me that’s what it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
