January 8, 20197 yr This better be a Machado Caddie request. I'd much rather take my lumps with either Cordell /Engel in another lost season if no Machado. Hell, go get Denard Span if we desperately need a 1 year stopgap.
January 8, 20197 yr 4 pages already.....wow are we sure the manny thread isnt going to crash sox talk if he signs here?

I'm not critical point upset -- if we get Manny, I'll see how the roster plays out, but i'm worried that moves like this puts us out on other potential FA's.

Jay's age 34, this guy isn't going to do anything. And he’s going to be signed for 1 year for nothing. Relax bro. Release the dude in May if he sucks and we’re in same position we were in 30 mins ago.

Seems like he’s a 4th OF at this point and wouldn’t command much money. I bet he would simply take Engel or Leury’s spot on the roster.

Whom exactly, other than Pollock, is a better FA option that is a legit CF? We’ll wait for the list. Edited January 8, 20197 yr by ChiSox59
January 8, 20197 yr Just now, Tony said: Who? Name the other potential FA’s this takes the Sox out of contention for... Pollock, maybe? But I don't think the Sox want him. And neither do I.

January 8, 20197 yr Author WSD posted a blog about the signing but unfortunately there was no juicy info in it; all he said was all that's left is Hahn handing Machado a blank check.
January 8, 20197 yr Sox have now offered a scholarship to the 5 star recruit’s teammate and hired his AAU coach. Better get your guy
January 8, 20197 yr Just now, Tony said: Who? Name the other potential FA’s this takes the Sox out of contention for... As long as we are still in on Harper or even someone like Pollock in addition to Machado... I'm fine, -- whatever -- add all of Machado's friends who just happen to be poor ball players. I'm not saying this is a game breaking roster move of course, I'm just saying I don't like the move and don't see the point in it outside of signing Machado.

January 8, 20197 yr Just now, Whitesox27 said: Has Jay signed with the Sox yet or is it just a rumor? I don't think he has signed yet. But probably really close though.
January 8, 20197 yr 1 minute ago, Whitesox27 said: Has Jay signed with the Sox yet or is it just a rumor? Rumor, but rumors about guys of Jon Jay's caliber turn into signings.
January 8, 20197 yr Just now, Tony said: YOU DONT HAVE TO SEE ANOTHER POINT. THERE IS NO OTHER POINT. THERE IS ONE REASON AND ONE REASON ONLY JON JAY IS BEING ADDED TO THE ROSTER. Rule #1, read this post. Rule #2, if there is any confusion, see Rule #1.
January 8, 20197 yr I have a soft spot for Jon Jay, as he provided me with many RBI opportunities in MLB: The Show 2010 while he and my create-a-player were in the Cardinals farm system. Based on this, we must sign him.
