flavum Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 http://m.whitesox.mlb.com/news/article/262...opicId=27118146 About six hours until the deadline. Merkin hints Putnam, Petricka, and Alburquerque as non-tender possibilities. Not sure if that’s based on knowledge given to him, but maybe.

Chicago White Sox Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 The Sox only have seven guys on the 40 man roster that could be considered bullpen options (assuming Fulmer starts the year in the rotation in place of Rodon) and Fry & Covey probably need more seasoning. So I think it’s safe to assume we add at least three more reliever candidates plus a veteran 5th starter. That alone could bring the roster up to 40. Having said that, at a minimum I’d rather have protected Guerrero over May. He’s so far down the depth chart that I don’t see what purpose he serves and I can’t see him having trade value.

flavum Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 QUOTE (Tony @ Dec 1, 2017 -> 07:23 PM) Can they add guys to the protected list by the Rule V draft? No, guys like Guerrero and Peter can’t be added now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LittleHurt05 Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 QUOTE (flavum @ Dec 1, 2017 -> 05:32 PM) About 90 minutes to go. Cubs cutting ties with Hector Rondon. Oh the volatility of bullpen arms. About 15 months ago, he was lights out. Then suddenly he couldn't be trusted in five straight playoff series and now non tendered.

Squirmin' for Yermin Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 If we did happen to trade Abreu, MAtt Adams would be the perfect signing.. Been a very good bat but has seemed to be bitten in the butt by bad situations.. Not much playing time in STL because they had Carpenter at 1B and not much in Atlanta because of Freeman.. He could be a big bat for an AL team that needs someone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buehrle>Wood Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 We should go after Rondon. Live arm, big(ish) name. Definitely a turnaround candidate that could fetch something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had a pretty awful year last year, but maybe Coop could get him back to his 2015 form. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also closed under Renteria in 2014. I can see this happening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
