Not a lock, but this is their best shot to push him through. There isn’t going to be any “pushing though” with Yolmer. He’s not going to the minors. You only do this Move if you’re done with the guy and there isn’t mutual interest in working something out.

I mean, this shows Yolmer that no other team was willing to pay the price either. Could help in negotiations if there is mutual interest in bringing him back. But I kind of doubt there is.

Once he doesn't find any takers at 6.2 million...very good chance he comes back home imo.

November 28, 20196 yr I hope the Sox move on from Yolmer. Can't afford more than 1 or 2 no-hit types if they really think they can contend.
November 28, 20196 yr I still think it‘s weird that the Sox haven‘t announced these two roster moves.

November 28, 20196 yr Can someone update the thread title? Yolmer was never non-tendered - he was placed on waivers - and he is now a FA.

I prefer positional flexibility from my bench than offensive output. A bench of Yolmer, Leury, McCann, and Collins is arguably the best bench in the league Edited November 28, 20196 yr by ChiSox1917
