October 31, 20187 yr It's going to be hard to move him without taking back salary. I'd definitely be interested though next year team is going to be bad he's in his 30's it doesn't make a whole lot of sense to keep him around

Our front office is simply too unpredictable, and I just don't trust them to make the right choice. Non-tendering him may be the right decision as it can free up more money for Machado or Harper. Don't trust the FO to make the right decision? No. Sorry, but the bet is off.

You brought up the ban bet. In no way shape or form is non-tendering Jose the right decision. And the Sox have plenty of money to pay Machado or Harper with Jose. The two are completely different and unrelated situations.

A 1 year contract in a year where we have barely double digits in millions of payroll committed is too high of stakes?

March 14, 20197 yr Author https://mobile.twitter.com/whitesox/status/1105993145668517890 Is Jose really going to be the starter at 1st this year? Yonder is the better fielder of the two, and I have to imagine playing him at 1st will bolster his trade value. Abreu is such a butcher out there that he is injuring himself from deflections.... It is time to shift him to DH. It is long past that time, actually.

Let Abreu play first this season. There's absolutely no reason to play Yonder there. Accidents happen. He got hurt. Big deal. He'll be back.

You get mad at the idea of an opener but you don't mind an awful fielding 1st baseman when we have a superior fielder on the team? I thought you were anti tank?

I thought you were anti tank? I am anti tank, ron883, but as you know I love Abreu. Because of my love of certain players, I don't get mad regarding their deficiencies too often. I do despise the opener. It sickens me. But I love Abreu and Avi. I don't mind seeing Avi/Abreu butcher some plays since we are tanking/gonna finish last, etc. I am anti tank but I "accept the tank" is happening. (I need to look up and see how Avi is faring this preseason). Edited March 14, 20197 yr by greg775
March 14, 20197 yr Get ready for some Greg anger: Avi!! Avi!! Avi!! The guy is a hard worker and just hit a bomb. Makes absolutely no sense to give up on Avi when he's blocking nobody.

No need to give him up if we weren’t filling his void with someone more established.
