    I'll be honest I won't be a fan of it. I follow the Red Sox a lot and Price is whiney unlikable player. 

    I will also go on record and say i want to have nothing to do with David price playing for the White Sox.  a 34 year old pitcher whos best days are behind him does not fit what we are trying to accomplish.

    This makes a better team with balance in the lineup. Walker is 24 and has done nothing to this point with 4th OF potential. The guy we got back is 24 and has already hit around 80hr's in the big leagues and still has unlimited potential according to most big league guys. Worst case scenario he doesn't pan out and you go get someone next off season. This is a low risk high reward move.

    I said it yesterday, for rebuilds to work you have to take chances on guys and some of them have to pan out.

    Cubs are an example with their moves for Rizzo, Arrieta, etc. ....

    Every rebuild must have surprises.

    I'm with you. I like Mazara, just mortified of the return. Plus, you know that if he figures it out, he's walking in 2 years because Scott Boras. 

    Jack if he figures it out and has potential to walk that would still be a good scenario for our beloved.

    Sox in on Marcell Ozuna? I mean, maybe. Or not.

    I'm asking the following question as a serious question, not being a jerk.................

    Can someone explain to me how a pitcher is worth $245 million and another one $300 when they will most likely play in about 35-40 games.  How is handcuffing your franchise financially worth this type of commitment.  I can see it, somewhat, for a position player.

    Again, I'm just confused on how this is a good investment.

    Look at his second half numbers... he definitely figured something out. Plus I think now he'll be even better with the Astros stuff coming out. You can tell that World Series was in his head for quite some time. Only thing that can stop Darvish potentially is injuries. 

    I understand he was very good 2nd half.  However, this guy and injuries seem to go hand in hand

    Those guys aren’t stopgaps. They're rebuilding placeholders. I am talking about a legitimate MLb RF, just on 1 year deal. 

    Understood.  However, I don't know what legitimate MLB RF going to take a one year deal at this point.  Someone may if free agency fizzles out but this market does not seem like it's going to fizzle.

    The perfect move likely isn’t attainable this off-season. Which is why I would be finding a stopgap right fielder for 2020 and solve that position long-term next off-season when there are much better options.

    Haven't we had enough stop gaps:

    Palka, avi, jay, leury, cordell............

    I have no issue with ozuna, pederson, and to a lesser extent castellanos

    The QO attached to essentially paying a DH scares me tbh.  Would rather have Castellanos.

    I respect your opinion.  However, anyone who thinks that Castellanos is a better RF'er than Ozuna is misinformed.  

    Ozuna misplayed a few balls last year and they were shown over and over.  He was a gold glove outfielder on 2017, that is only 2 years ago.  Ozuna has much, much more pop in his bat then Castellanos.  I like castellanos but he's a one half wonder.  He was not much in Detroit and had one amazing 1/2 of a year.  Could it mean that he's figured some things out........sure, however look at some of Ozuna's hard hit metrics and everything tells you that man could absolutely explode at some point.  St. Louis is not a hitters park either.....
