iamshack 316 Posted November 25, 2019 26 minutes ago, Dick Allen said: We had an insider saying the Sox would sign BOTH Machado and Harper. They both signed for less than he projected and the Sox were $50 million short on Machado, and didn't even engage with Harper when they found out Boras doesn't play the discount game. Even for the opportunity to have Yolmer Sanchez dump a cooler of Gatorade on your head. There was a lot of BS going on, and anyone who questioned it was villified as someone who was pretty clueless. Oh Dick, how I’ve missed you 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Squirmin' for Yermin 1,590 Posted November 25, 2019 Seems strange to put Yolmer on waivers now to clear a space on the 40 man unless a signing is happening right? I could be wrong since he was probably a non-tender anyways.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I could be wrong since he was probably a non-tender anyways.. there's plenty of other low hanging fruit that could be cut loose if a signing was coming. Yolmer was gonna be on another team by spring training some way or another. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My understanding of the process means it gives us a chance to clear a spot on the 40 earlier in the off-season as the decision to non-tender isn't due for a couple months. If our intention was never to bring him back, might as well start that process early to give ourselves flexibility, right? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Perfect Vision 364 Posted November 25, 2019 Wasn't the Palka DFA announced simultaneously with the Grandal signing? So no need to do this as a precursor to a signing. Likely unrelated to Wheeler or any other free agent. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Then we can outright release him? Edited November 25, 2019 by cjgalloway Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They can announce that they've agreed to terms... but when the player passes their physical, then they have to be added to the roster, and someone has to go at that point.
