Bigsoxhurt35 Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 I'm making this now for my personal record. Just curious on one free agent or trade target you think we'll get. My one prediction is 3B David Freese 3 years $30 million Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiSox59 Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Nov 11, 2015 -> 09:00 PM) Cespedes 6/$126M I don't think that gets you to the final table, and that's why the Sox will and should pass. I'll go Alexei Ramirez 1/$7M. I think they'll do more, obviously, but that's what I see as most likely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fangraphs has him signing for six years and around $21M to $22M AAV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Y2Jimmy0 Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 I'd be stunned if they gave up a top 30 pick. I'll say Alexei returns for 2 years $13 million. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swingandalongonetoleft Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 It wouldn't surprise me to see one or both of Buehrle and Uribe brought in for quick year or two; Uribe especially if Alexei isn't back on a cheaper deal, and Buehrle if he holds off retirement. I was fan of the moves made coming in to 2015, so considering how that turned out, I have no idea how the FO will operate this time around.

CaliSoxFanViaSWside Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 (edited) QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Nov 11, 2015 -> 10:23 PM) No? Why not? When you're going to be a free agent but traded during the season the team acquiring the player midseason is not eligible to receive a pick like Cespedes, Zobrist and Cueto . To be entitled to compensation, a team must have a departing free agent on its roster for the entirety of the season.

Makes sense, thus why our return value had to be greater than the comp pick for Shark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 (edited) Zimmermann, 5 yrs/$110M. A bit of an overpay, but that's free agency, especially with pitchers. But 5 years lines up with the 2020 year that a lot of our contracts seems to be ending right around.

hogan873 Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 I don't see the Sox grabbing one of the big FAs (Cespedes, Upton...). I believe any signings will be small, and they will go the trade route to fill some holes. My prediction is Alexei on a one or two year deal for around $7MM a year. Otherwise, I could see a Buehrle signing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rowand's rowdies Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 I think we double down on pitching and copy the Royals by investing in the bullpen and trade for Giles from PHI. I also think we sign Ian Desmond. Maybe not to play SS, but to play 3B, 2B, or DH. Maybe even on a 1 or 2 year rebuild value deal like 1/18 or 2/34. He could be looking at a 200 million contract next offseason or two if he has a season or seasons anything like his previous ones, and the South Side is a good spot to do that, potentially as a DH against LHP. Focus on offense half his games. Not sure he wants to lock himself into a 4 year deal for 50-70 million from a limited market when he could be looking at hundreds of millions and more choices on where to play.

Y2Jimmy0 Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 Trade Erik Johnson in a package for a position player. Sign Doug Fister for 1 year and $8 million. He rebounds nicely and we offer him a QO next year. Wishful thinking...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
