Greg Hibbard Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 He has literally no value if he's not tradeable. To this organization or any other. The money is spent. The Sox are well aware of it. I personally think he would be DFA before the break. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT:  Yep, here’s the story... https://www.cbssports.com/mlb/news/white-soxs-attempts-to-recruit-machado-may-have-backfired-as-alonso-jay-spoke-highly-of-san-diego/ Be nice if they could join him there.

He will be sitting more and more and his production justifies it. Alonso and Jay will be lucky to make the year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisox378 Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 We can trade Alonso and Wellington Castillo and Sanchez to the D Backs for 1rst round pick, 7th overall of the 2017 Draft, Pavin Smith. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow. Why in the heck would any team want those 3 players you mentioned? Their fanbase would erupt in anger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiSox59 Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 Just cut bait, Sox. It’s mid June. It’s a sunk cost. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BackDoorBreach Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 Mid June batting a cool .178. Get him off this roster. Just seeing him on a lineup card raises my blood pressure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigHurt3515 Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 The lineup would be so much better with almost anyone else in the lineup every day besides him. Would love to see Collins but I will settle for Palka Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YouCanPutItOnTheBoardYES! Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 Why isn't Collins getting Yonder's at-bats at this point? He could at least be a consequential player moving forward. Alonso serves absolutely no purpose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ron883 Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 Yonder Alonso is dogshit. It's embarrassing that the FO can't swallow their pride, admit their mistake and DFA him already. What will come from playing him? Nobody will trade for him. He hurts your team. Skole, Collins, or Palka should be played so we can see what they got. It's just a complete joke. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTruth05 Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 It's pretty nuts even by Sox standards this guy is still on the roster. He would have been DFA'd by the Indians by now if he was still over there. He has no business stealing anymore ABs, bring Mendick up if you don't want to expose Collins and have a rotating DH. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Sacamano Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 Yeah Collins needs to be getting at bats between 1B, DH, and catching a couple games a week (with 3 catchers on the roster, you can give McCann rest at DH when Collins starts behind the plate) while also working on becoming a better defender on the side working with McCann and Castillo (hey, he's been around for a while so he should be someone he can go to for advice). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BackDoorBreach Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 Bringing up Collins and some of these other guys should have been done weeks ago. I don't need to see Rondon or Alonso or Castillo have 1 more PA this year.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago White Sox Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 What’s crazy is we’re a game under .500 and playing him neither helps in the short-run or long-run.  Absolutely mind boggling and my guess is Hahn/KW sold the trade as a baseball move to Jerry and not the Machado sweetener we all know it was.

WBWSF Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 (edited) I wonder if Alonso is going to be benched and replaced by Jon Jay. Edited June 14, 2019 by WBWSF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least gives the roster a bit more flexibility. Although, they could send Cordell and his low avg and obp down. I also checked his splits to see if he was hitting lefties. He is not. Granted, I would still prefer him on the roster over Jay and Alonso. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arizona may need some pieces to compete for the wild card, which they are only 2 games back. Toss in Micker Adolfo.
