Yeah, but after signing a starter over him I can see especially not wanting to go to arb and then have to trash talk him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BackDoorBreach Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 Wasn't his number projected to around 4.8? They just gave him the real money they got from fake money basically. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScootsMcGoots Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 McCann is going to need to prove the first half of last season wasn't a fluke. 2020 is going to be the most important of his career thus far if he is going to get a nice free agent deal next offseason.

Arbitration is a really nasty process; no idea why MLB hasnt changed the way it works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poppysox Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 One more premium FA signing before the Winter Meetings would make us look very desirable to those who are kicking our tires next week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg775 Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 Looks like we are set at catcher. What's Collins' role gonna be now? Split time at 1B with Jose and both play 1B and DH? I respect McCann but was hoping it was Collins time. We might as well trade Collins for a reliever instead of making him wait many years to catch like we did Karko.

tray Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 Even though McCann is only signed for one year, he is probably our most valuable trading chip, that is, out of the players on our 26 man roster that Hahn might consider trading.

As it stands right now, Grandal is your starting catcher and McCann your starting DH, though it's interchangeable. That effectively makes Collins the primary backup 1B, DH, and catcher. He'll get at-bats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it makes Collins the primary DH against righties since McCann doesn't hit them as well as lefties at least eary in the season. I think before Robert and Madrigal arrive we see Collins at DH a lot as the Sox try to generate some offense early in the season when they aren't at full strength to see if Collins can get it going with his OBP and power. If he can once Robert and Madrigal arrive and a productive Collins they look very strong in the lineup. The only obstacle is Renteria if the last few weeks of the season regarding Collins playing time is any indication of future use. I think the FO realizes how significant a productive Collins can be and should be telling Renteria to play him early and often. If the Sox sign a DH that changes. I'm guessing they roll with Collins. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think a new DH is in our future. The rotation of catchers provide the DH position. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
