Lets get Covey some starts. Why does Covey deserve more starts after how bad he has been in his tenure with the White Sox? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just being sarcastic. Right now the Sox are screwed when it comes to pitchers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be praised nationally and locally. You have to take risks. The Sox don’t have a better option IMO. You aren’t going to get someone of value if you don’t trade Robert, Madrigal or Vaughn. This is the time to take risks. Or waste another year of peak Moncada and Giolito. Standing pat is not an option IMO. I doubt Bumgarner wants to pitch in an AL hitters park on the wrong side of Chicago. Tough transition. I doubt I would want to watch him do it. Yes James Shields is back. Next.

It turned out pretty well for the Padres...😋 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the Sox front office is smart enough to realize MBum is not a fit or our answer I do not mind driving his pricetag up for other clubs though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hi8is Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 (edited) Bumgarner 192 homeruns allowed 74 at home 30 in 2019 over 207 IP ( 15% of career total ) Wheeler 75 homeruns allowed 40 at home 22 in 2019 over 195 IP ( 29% of career total ) Bumgarner has twice as many innings under his belt.

Orlando Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 I would actually be happy if the Sox got Bumgarner but I don’t think they will offer enough to overcome the national league preference. Reds and Cardinals interested Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reds and Cardinals interested I probably would be too depending on cost.Have to figure 4 years . If a team goes 5 forget it. If he's going to $100M also forget it. Somewhere between $80-85 M perhaps? I'm sure this place would be livid but the casual fan base , meaning those most likely to buy season tickets. just might like it a lot. After all he is a legend and a likely good influence on the young pitchers and the most likely to give you 200 innings which is still pretty critical for the 2020 Sox. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Allen Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 It is interesting Steve Stone was talking up MadBum on twitter, then suddenly goes to Keuchel. MadBum then supposedly wants 9 figures and Ryu is a Boras guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigsoxhurt35 Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 As much as I have loved watched MadBum, no way I’d give him 5/100 million. That’s insane imo. I’d rather trade for a starter and spend on another bat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Parkman Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 At this point, I think Bumgarner is worth the gamble. At least he's durable. He was also pretty good during the 2nd half last year. The gopher balls are an issue, but fuck it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
