November 21, 20196 yr Terrific hitter in Grandal. Just what the Sox need too with a good hitter that can walk and get on base, nice move. Way to jump on him early! McCann can catch, Grandal to DH, Collins to RF.... That's hot baby!!!!! Edited November 21, 20196 yr by Chisox378
November 21, 20196 yr This is awesome. Outside of a SP, this had to be their #1 target. Get Wheeler & Dickerson (or someone like him) & this could be the best offseason they have ever had outside of 2005 offseason.

November 21, 20196 yr Yeah, but is a friend of Machado? /gn Let's goooo! Hopefully the first of many and a great signal to the rest of the FA class that we mean business

It’s funny that Hahn mentioned the 4 big needs and then signs someone else to a huge deal. Grandal does help with one of those needs, and he said they were looking for flexibility at DH

The video game mentality of X player can just be moved to X position doesnt work in the real world. My guess is they move Collins.
November 21, 20196 yr I can easily see Grandal being a 4-5 win player for the next 2 years. This is a huge get and great market value if he declines at a reasonable pace.

It’s funny that Hahn mentioned the 4 big needs and then signs someone else to a huge deal. This improves OBP, defense, left handedness and DH. While Hahn didn't specifically say catcher, it checks some boxes.

November 21, 20196 yr Guys....this is so amazing. Get Wheeler, trade for a RF, and fill in a couple gaps with cheap stop gaps and we got a fucking SQUAD!!!

He is Grandal but only 25 and can improve.

November 21, 20196 yr I saw the tweet from the official sox twitter and thought it was a fake like the fake Rosenthal account. Double checked and was genuinely shocked.
November 21, 20196 yr Grandal did good accepting a one year deal last off-season. Effectively what, 5 years, 89 mill? Not bad.
