ChiSox59 Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 9 minutes ago, MiddleCoastBias said: My understanding of the process means it gives us a chance to clear a spot on the 40 earlier in the off-season as the decision to non-tender isn't due for a couple months. If our intention was never to bring him back, might as well start that process early to give ourselves flexibility, right? Non tender deadline is literally a week from today, so no.

Donny Lucy's Avocado Farm Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 Then why wouldn't they just wait a week and non-tender him?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know though...you could just DFA Yolmer or one of the handful of guys that are highly unlikely to survive the offseason anyway (Zavala, Medeiros, Vieira, Covey, Fulmer) if Wheeler is signed. Don't think this is related, though I do think the timing is strange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think this is related, though I do think the timing is strange. I get the argument but it was probably decided awhile ago Yolmer was not going to be a part of the team at that price. Those other guys are just fodder and depth if nothing else. The timing is definitely really weird though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like all the speculation is related to the leak of the Palka and Yolmer moves. No sources have come forward regarding what might be next beyond pure speculation.

I think we try to wrap Wheeler up so that we can go after a second pitcher and right fielder in time for the rush starting December 8th. I don't know if it was intentional but Grandal should serve as an inducement to most potential pitchers all else being equal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
