Perfect Vision Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 So today we've had Rosenthal report that Wheeler has received a $100 mil offer, Heyman report that Wheeler was the Sox top pitching target, and Nightengale report that the Sox are going hard after Wheeler. Not too hard to put these pieces together. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This can only mean one thing: We are getting absolutely zero movement until late January. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orlando Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 (edited) How long until all the local Chicago writers report that the Sox offer is “nowhere near $100 mil and is closer to 4 years 62 mil” Edited December 3, 2019 by Orlando 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mqr Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 I'm still shell shocked by Semien/Tatis, so I'm pretty ambivalent about the Joc thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

centerfieldsixers Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 Jet Sports Management who represents Wheeler does not have history of prolonging contract talks. At least the information I researched. At least were not dealing with Boras and I forgot Machado's agent already... Lozano? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the smoke suggests the Sox have put 5/100+ million in the table for Wheeler, and are a top suitor. I cannot see the bidding going way higher than that.

Or how about: “this just seems like a last ditch effort to get the Sox to up their offer. This is ending soon” at any hint or tweet that another team might be interested Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mqr Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 I normally try to avoid this comparison, buuuuuuuuuuuuut should they land Wheeler it's almost uncanny how much the Sox off season is shaping up like the 14-15 cubs. A less sexy Jon Lester, a much more sexy Miggy Montero and someone is going to be a Dexter Fowler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
