fathom Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Have to think the 5-7 million they saved on Simmons goes towards Cruz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess they may be just moving Polanco over to 2B now, so there's still some hope for infield hits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iWiN4PreP Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Wow, market making moves today. Nice to see. It was all but guranteed that the Twins were going to get some upgrades. I can live with them getting Simmons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rumor someone shared here is he'll be in a reduced role or traded. Maybe he can slide into that type of role people here wanted LaStella in (DH/backup IF).

iWiN4PreP Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Honestly, Twins don't scare me at all even with Nelson Cruz. Their SP staff low-key blows. Maeda ain't holding up over a full season, Berrios is nice, but he's no #1, and the rest is hot garbage. Their RP core got weaker with losing May. Their offense is only a shell of what it was compared to how it entered the 2020 season. People thought their offense would be insane, and it turned out to be mediocre at best. Their older guys (donaldson/cruz) will be older, they lost Eddie Rosario. Doesn't scare me at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you heard anything? Didn't you have sources? Yes I have sources, but no I have not heard anything about Joc. I just saw his name pop up recently and was trying to remember where he signed and then I realized he still hasn't signed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quintana wanted to sign with a manager he liked and could trust. Quintana, like every player except possibly Keuchel, likes Ricky Renteria, and he likes Joe Maddon. Only one option was available in 2021. Quintana also liked Cooper, so he really had no ties left in the Sox clubhouse. Not sure if the Sox even gave him an offer, but they should of. Definitely a much better option then TLDR’s fucking 40 year old Adam Wainwright option, a pitcher his own team either doesn’t want or doesn’t want beyond a cheap take it or leave it offer.

YourWhatHurts Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 I think Q took a deal with a team where he would be easily guaranteed a rotation spot all year. The Sox would have had to offer actual money in order for him to forego a much better opportunity to reposition himself for the 2021-22 FA market.

As opposed to posting the I am wrong without anything other than “a belief”, can you link an actual quote or statement by Quintana or his agent regarding interest in returning? I never came across confirmed interest by either side. 16 minutes ago, poppysox said: I think he took his best offer. 6 minutes ago, YourWhatHurts said: I think Q took a deal with a team where he would be easily guaranteed a rotation spot all year.

I would have liked the Sox to have made an offer. My point is, if the offers were similar, Q would take the situation he would be more comfortable. I don’t believe La Russa vetoed it as stated in the post I was responding to. If Tony did veto an offer, than Tony should shut his 200 year old ass up, as folks say in the Twitter world. https://mobile.twitter.com/stevestone/status/1354258105375232000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

South Side Hit Men Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 (edited) O'Day signed by the Yankees with a creative 2022 option, and luxury tax impact. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2021/01/yankees-sign-darren-oday.html 12:48pm: O’Day receives a $1.75MM salary for the upcoming season and has a $1.4MM player option with a $700K buyout, tweets Joel Sherman of the New York Post. He’ll actually make the first decision, and if he opts for the buyout, the Yankees then have a $3.15MM club option over the righty. Technically, because O’Day is guaranteed this year’s $1.75MM salary and that $1.4MM player option, one could call this a $3.15MM guarantee over a two-year term. However, since only the buyout is technically factored into the guarantee under the luxury tax, it’s a one-year, $2.45MM deal for luxury purposes. Ultimately, if O’Day pitches well enough to decline that player option but still have the club option exercised, it seems he can earn a total of $5.6MM between 2021-22.

Only 1 of these teams has Pujols's contract in the way. 1 year, $10 million would not have been a bad contract for the White Sox. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
