knightni Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 This is good news. Rolling the dice on Guerrero seems to have worked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiSox59 Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 Burdi would have been nice but it was a nice surprise not losing any of our guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 I really wanted Burdi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hi8is Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Dec 14, 2017 -> 09:22 AM) I really wanted Burdi. And we could have had him it seems, for just 500k https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2017/12/pira...pool-space.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is the right to spend 500K. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the very least, Hahn wasn’t overly concerned if he lost Guerrero. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiSoxJon Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 Happy CWS didn't lose anyone I like Tocci but bad fit, good he;s gone Wonder who Hahn wanted, Burdi and who Stunned Guerrero didn't go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoGoSox2k2 Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 QUOTE (raBBit @ Dec 14, 2017 -> 04:15 PM) Don't take it to the bank from what I understand Sox dont have 500K left. As in $500k of international slot money I assume you are referring to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mac9001 Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 Really surprising they didn't draft an arm. Makes you think they're going to sign some proven big league arms to fill out the bullpen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The number I got indirectly from a pretty reliable source was that the team had $1.1M left in the pool. But it was not a source with the club, so, could be wrong.

Makes you think they're going to sign some proven big league arms to fill out the bullpen. I thought they might too but despite the slow movement in free agency , relievers are getting signed quickly and probably for more than expected. Didn't Swarzak get signed for more than Michael Pineda did ? That was kind of shocking to me but I might be missing something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
