SoCalChiSox Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 (edited) 28 minutes ago, YouCanPutItOnTheBoardYES! said: I’m getting less optimistic with every passing day that the Sox will sign Hendriks. Watch some team swoop in and get him while the Sox are still haggling over a couple million dollars. This is precisely what I expect to happen. I hope no one plays a drinking game based on the number of times the FO blames the pandemic in the aftermath of losing him, at least not if you care for your liver. If he was really the "top priority" we wouldn't be still haggling right now a week later. The longer we wait, the higher chance other teams will circle back into the bidding. If they're really scrounging for a couple million, might as well ship ReyLo off for scraps to erase a bit of payroll, since there's really no use for him now.

Just a personal opinion and in the world of small sampler relievers it happens. I wouldn't pay hand 5 million, and I think he'll be complete trash sooner than later. Sox fans would despise hand as their closer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All it takes is those ground balls to start finding holes You know what hurts a lot more than groundballs that find holes ? Fly balls that go over the fence . 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 After doing some research, I’m all aboard the Kirby Yates train. He was the best reliever on the planet from 2017-2019. He struggled last year due to bone chips that he got removed. Pitchers tend to recover nicely from that surgery, and he should be ready for 2020. I like the idea of a shorter deal for him than 3 for Hendriks. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's Colome + Yates or just Hendricks, I'll probably take Colome + Yates. Although there is no reason why the Sox can't afford any 2 of those 3 guys anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orlando Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 (edited) I looked up ALIGND on google and found nothing. Maybe he made that name up. Maybe cheesy beef is making this up based on what James Fox and Harold said in this thread. They said Hendriks left his agent.

YouCanPutItOnTheBoardYES! Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 Hendriks leaving Lozano is a good thing. He is Machado’s agent too and we all know how that worked out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is Machado’s agent too and we all know how that worked out. Yeah, it's a bit confusing but he wasn't really Lozano's client as much as he was clients with the agency Lozano owns. Best example I can use is it sounds like Liam Hendriks pulled a Rod Tidwell. Who's coming with me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orlando Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 That son of a cheesy beef is right. It is ALIGND. And I can find no info on it anywhere but when I went to MLBTR it has it listed now. This is new becaus when Jimmy first mentioned it I looked and it was still MVP. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/agencydatabase 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orlando Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 Just now, fathom said: I thought we were saying he left Lozano for a while? Yeah, I think either James Fox or Harold mentioned it and said he left for Boras but that could have been a joke. The new info is the actual agency.
