Yes, he's been ridiculous and very good (especially against the Sox), but he's 40 years old. At some point he's not going to be able to keep this up, right? It would be so White Sox to bring him him only to see him completely fall off a cliff in production. I wouldn't HATE if they got him for the DH, and on paper this looks great in the lineup, but man, this feels so EE all over again. There just isn't a lot of downside with the move. The only issue I could possibly see if Cruz is Edwin levels of bad.......TLR continues to play the veteran over someone like Vaughn who is "ready" but even that is sort of stretch. Cruz isn't getting more than a one year deal so there is very little risk involved. I personally don't think they sign Nelson Cruz, and I'd much rather them sign another SP, but I'd be all for it if it happened.

January 18, 20215 yr Oh fuck that works for me! Anderson, SS Moncada, 3B# Abreu, 1B Cruz, DH Jimenez, LF Grandal, C# Robert, CF Eaton, RF* Madrigal, 2B

He's gonna cost at least $10 million. You don't make a move like this for the Jeff Blauser factor or because he's a good clubhouse guy. He better hit.

January 18, 20215 yr Author Ozuna makes no sense to be honest assuming he gets multiple year. Also is there where I throw out the crazy idea of Cruz at DH and then trading Vaughn and more for Woodruff?

Ozuna dh and then trade vaughn ozuna is a monster hitter going to be great for years cruz has to face time at some point... a gamble
