SoCalChiSox Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 15 minutes ago, SonofaRoache said: Could it be they want to spend a lot of money on pitching. If they succeed, they may have to trade for a low cost RF for now because money will be gone. If they miss out on the pitching, they can spend more on RF. I could be wrong, but it is possible. That's certainly a possibility. If they can lock in Ryu or whomever for a certain price they may know how much flexibility they have at RF, although we've been told we have "unprecedented financial flexibility" and our current payroll is still south of 90m so this line still has the stench of incompetence and or penny pinching. IMO they should still be able to work on multiple tracks at the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely they would sign him... 😂 Thankfully there are at least 4 great to very good options that are FA next offseason. Betts is a pipedream, but I would take all over Springer, Joc and Brantley over Ozuna or Castellanos from 21-23/24 timeframe. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grass is greener. I'm not from either place. People are friendlier, city is cleaner and safer, public transportation is infinitely better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Chicago is cleaner, and Lakefront is much better, but I like both cities. I live in NYC, so I don't have a dog in this fight either.

Toronto's population is actually listed as ~ 200,000 more than Chicago's. Surprised me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orlando Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 (edited) He could be flying in later but Ozuna just posted a video on Instagram. He’s at a game in DR. I wonder if Hector Gomez is there and can ask him. He has been posting videos from the same game. Edited December 8, 2019 by Orlando Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This suggests Vaughn is on the block for a pitcher. If Ozuna is DH presumably for several years, Jose has to stay at 1B. Dammit. This is so stupid. Leave prime prospects alone. Wheeler's wife is literally wrecking the rebuild. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
