southsider2k5 Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 1 hour ago, Chicago White Sox said: Sox have not just been mentioned as potential destinations, but are considered a favorite to land one of them as one of a handful of teams (Mets & Marlins being the others) with significant slot room left. Sure but that is all conjecture and speculation. There is no ACTUAL rumor of agreement or even real negotiations between everyone. LIke we KNOW we are signing Vera at this point. We have nothing like that for Colas and Cespedes, at least that I have seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One would assume it would be cleared up by the beginning of the next period in JAN, but who knows with the MLB nowadays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One would assume it would be cleared up by the beginning of the next period in JAN, but who knows with the MLB nowadays. The ideal situation would be for him to be pushed into July of 21(with no delay in the period) so that they can work both Cespedes in the first window and Colas into the 2nd window, and maybe even the newest Cuban pitcher by the time he clears. Realistically, if they really do delay the second window to Jan of 22, there is about zero way we get both of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that would be the ideal situation for the Sox, however unlikely it may actually be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And also hopefully no international draft by that time too which is possible under next CBA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, and you know I was thinking about this. Although this is probably a question for another topic. How will that first international draft work? Wouldn't every team have players already locked up from 2 or 3 years previous? So when your team is on the clock wouldn't you just draft the kid you already have an agreement with? The kid that you know and are excited about? All of these agreements are because of money previously agreed upon. But there will still be a draft pool of money allocated to each team just like the regular draft. Right? So the money might have to be tweaked some. Probably details discussed in the new cba. And I imagine after the first draft it will smooth out and feel more like every other draft. It's just the first one I think will be strange. And the sox might have the youngest of the Tatis brothers too in this draft. Whom dad says might be the most talented of the 3! All we can do is wait to see how all of this unfolds.

caulfield12 Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 (edited) https://www.instagram.com/danielfernandotatis/ https://fabwags.com/fernando-tatis-jrs-mother-maria-tatis/ https://www.facebook.com/daniel.fernandotatis.5 I can guarantee with 100% accuracy Daniel Fernando Tatis is way too young for Jerry Reinsdorf to sign. The only thing I can possibly think is that he might have a "half-brother" but that doesn't sound right, either. When the call comes for Bebo, it will take much longer to connect with everyone he needs to celebrate with. As Maria Tatis explains, their family goes everywhere together, in large numbers. Tatis Jr. grew up with four brothers and sisters. Multiple cousins and aunts and uncles were always around. They are known around their neighborhood as “Los Muchos” (The Many). https://www.baseballamerica.com/stories/the-son-also-rises/ http://virales.mobi/2020/07/15/asi-luce-la-bella-madre-del-dominicano-fernando-tatis-jr-con-5-hijos/ The FOURTH brother is Joshua Fernando. Joshua Fernando Tatis (age 20) is currently listed at __27 Pall Mall St E, Kissimmee, 34758 Florida and is not affiliated to any political party. He is a Hispanic male registered to vote in Osceola County . Edited August 28, 2020 by caulfield12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxAce Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 Maybe Ricky will actually let give a guy the green light often now... lord knows he doesn't let anybody steal. Also love seeing another African American player on the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And given that we are far away the best of the three teams, have a long-term RF spot wide open, and have the strongest Cuban connection means we are highly likely to land one of these guys. Obviously nothing has been agreed to yet, but our own James Fox has suggested there is a high likelihood we land one of these guys. That’s good enough for me to say we’re a favorite.
