Dodgers sign Bauer (3/102, opt-outs, 40-45-17)
smellysox replied to Jose Abreu's topic in The Diamond Club
Jerry is going to spend for his buddy Tony -
Lol! My apologies. Not trying to get everyone worked up. Just trying to understand the context of why Sherman would say that.
-
Anyone catch what Joel Sherman said today on MLB network? "If I had to guess today, Bauer goes to the Whitesox." Someone mentioned it on Twitter. Seeing if he really said that.
-
And Texas throwing Gallo in the mix doesn't make me feel any better about offering Cease or Dunning either. That's still a hard pass for me.
-
Like Stiever.
-
I think that's a good comp Jack. Especially the Dunning from 2 years ago.
-
That's what Steve Stone has been pushing for. But the Stone Pony wants this to be permanent.
-
What everyone in the know has been saying is that Texas was asking for the moon at the deadline. Nobody was willing to make a move with Texas. So yes he will be more affordable now.
-
I think it has changed the perception of next season. Just look at Atlanta. They recognized that it was a crappy FA market for starting pitchers and jumped on Morton and Smyly early. But spending $26 million doing it on one year deals. After spending that kind of money early, the Braves have got to be thinking that there is going to be a return to normalcy. Or at least something close.
-
I'd add Bucket, WSD, and Rabbit
-
I hope something happens soon. A FA signing, a trade, anything. Sox posters are going after each other. Soxtalk is getting dangerous. Lol
-
I love that idea too! Lets get him!
-
Yes they were. They were a finalist for Tanaka too. Not sure how close they really were to the Yankees winning offer. But you are right. It does matter where the money is spent first.
-
Your right. And he does credit the blue jays.
-
If you believe Al's cheesy beef or not - he just reported that the Blue Jays have progressed beyond just talking and are closer than they were. Edit: you beat me to it!
-
That's exactly what this reminds me of. If I were Springer or his agent I would so wait or encourage him to wait it out. With the sox history of being cheap. I bet there's a team or two circling us right now like vultures. I'm not giving up yet. But this is the kind of thing that really makes being a sox fan difficult. Sox fans we are a special breed! Enduring pain, suffering, and low to below average payrolls.
-
Yes a couple pages back on this thread. A national article asking where Sprnger was signing. Had Sox and 4 other teams.
-
I think they want to keep Plesac. Cheaper more control. They're offering Carrasco and Lindor. Cleveland needs to cut about $40m from payroll. Unless that has recently changed.
-
I would be absolutely shocked if the sox cut Heyward. Not with that kinda salary. Plus the need in right field.
-
I really believe They're going to have to go over $100m to get Springer signed. I'm kinda surprised they haven't offered that yet. Maybe a 5th yr too.
-
One good thing about a Bryant acquisition is the 20 - 30 games Moncada is out nursing his hamstrings Bryant can play 3rd. Engel can play right field then.
-
Depends if the Cubs pick up any of his salary. If not, which is my guess, then not much prospect wise in return. Lower outfielder or something equivalent even Rutherford.
-
Sounds like Cleveland is making Carrasco available according to Portillo's. And the whitesox have interest. 3 yrs $38 million left. Cleveland is doing the right thing. Taking advantage of a weak SP FA market. I'm sure the asking price will be the same /high as Tampa for Snell or the Reds for Grey.
-
Great post soxsteve! I completely agree.
-
Right. Big picture that trade doesn't improve the sox.
