I would love nothing more than to see the Sox crush the Twins offer. You cannot lose Wheeler to the Twins! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We said that last year when the Padres popped up in the Machado derby. If there are other teams getting involved in this the Sox have to be comfortable with being uncomfortable and give out deals that add some risk in terms of money or years. That is, If they're serious about this whole competing thing. Edited November 26, 2019 by Sockin 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orlando Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 I will say that Heyman was being used by agents and teams left and right last year. This could easily be to get the Sox to up their final offer 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying it will have any impact, but sometimes winning has an influence on a player's decision if the money is close. Twins have been a playoff team the past couple of years now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously other factors could come into play in making a final decision, but I don't see the Twins putting the best $$$ offer on the table for Wheeler. I think the Sox can (and will) outbid them if it comes down to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmags Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 Yikes, Berrios, Odorizzi, Wheeler would be a tough big three. Hope Sox can block that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope Sox can block that The Twins are going to sign pitching. They need it even more than the Sox. I fully expect them to land at least one of Wheeler, Bumgarner, or Keuchel. They’ll likely add another slightly lesser FA as well - maybe bring back Pineda. After Berrios and Odo, they have Graterol who they can maybe hope for 15 starts from, and then a few fringe guys. They’re going to spend some money this offseason - their window is now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Pohlad has been the owner since 09, and hasn’t handed over anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
