Vote4Pedro Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 If signing both isn’t realistic, does anyone know which one they prefer, or does that matter to them and they try and sign the first one who commits? I’d hate for the Sox to hold out on Harper, Machado signs elsewhere and we lose out on both of them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heads22 Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Well, the Alonso trade makes very little sense if Machado isn't the higher priority Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chitownsportsfan Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 If they sign him I will 100% go to spring training again. That's for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(so was Jermaine Dye before sox signed him) k that's over but I agree Pollock has a lot of red flags outside from even injury. I see what you mean, but Pollock also has compensation attached, dragging his value down. If he thinks that he is going to get 5/80 then I believe he is going to be very disappointed with this market. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO MM fits our baseball needs better. BH fits our marketability need more. Edited January 3, 2019 by Capital G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiSox59 Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 7 minutes ago, steveno89 said: Pollock is too injury prone for my taste Pollock definitely has big time red flags, but it all boils down to if the Sox land Machado and what Pollock's market looks like. If you can get him for a deal between Brantley (2/$32) and Cutch (3/$50), I think you have to jump on it. We have a gaping black hole in CF, and if you sign Machado, you may as well attempt to put a decent product on the field. 2 years would definitely be better than 3. I know he wants like 5-7 years, but he isn't going to get that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll be a plus fielder by the time he's 25 easily. His bat plays incredibly better there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we can land Machado at a price we're willing to pay, you do it. Especially with Boras likely to drag Harper out for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost everyone coming up is a RH bat with the exception of Collins who may not be any good. they need to balance out the lineup. 1-2-3 of Moncada, Harper, and Eloy would be huge.

While you may not care about marketability (I edited mine to that vs media as media was a poor choice) the White Sox do. Not that winning games wont help that... but winning games and having the face of baseball on your team means even more to a business. Regardless, MM is who I would prefer since he fits our needs more. We have no 3rd base prospects and plenty of OF. MM can come up big with the bat and glove.
