This would be a big mistake. McCann is very likely to be an offensive liability, and Grandal is most valuable if you get him catching more often than not. As for Collins, I just don’t believe the organization is willing to count on him as primary DH.

Especially with Yankees going after Cole and Strasburg, potentially getting Wheeler even more money from the Angels. I still think Wheeler is nuts to decide before Cole and Strasburg do.

He was my pick if they traded Madrigal. I think he gets a starting spot elsewhere.

It will likely be him saying how promising the Sox future is and that any free agent should be interested in them.

Problem is he’s had oblique issues 2 of the last 3 years. He also looked washed up last time in the AL.

Rangers met with Wheeler. Also mentions he’s expected to pick a team this week. https://www.dallasnews.com/sports/rangers/2019/12/03/sources-rangers-meet-with-free-agent-3b-anthony-rendon/

Shaw was awful last year

Is this where I’m pessimistic and say it’s just Hamels and not both

Charles the Cat wrong again

Souza just got non-tendered also

Tendered

I’m thinking more for next 3 years, and I also don’t think you would want Wheeler in that 5th year.

I would rather have Ryu and Castellanos for same price as Wheeler

There goes hope of the DFA being announced in alignment with a signing

I’m thinking this takes them out of the Castellanos battle

Cool, he will be playing 2nd there I’m sure

Because the controllable starting pitcher would be a lot cheaper than overpaying for someone not quite as good, as opposed to what the cost would be to get a solid 2nd baseman (ie: Villar).

Agreed and would have loved to see Madrigal dealt for a controllable, quality starting pitcher.

Believe this was about tendering contracts

Fake, no one under that name works for fangraphs

He makes me look like an optimistic fan

I think Marte would excel in RF. He has s great arm and plays the wall very well.

Yes, before this year he was easily the most popular Sox player amongst the Sox fans at my kids’ school.

Truly the most unlikeable Bears team I can remember.
