Orlando Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Another supposed target signs elsewhere. Thought he had been rumored enough to warrant a thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iWiN4PreP Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 rumor has it that he wanted the guranteed playing time with the Giants as opposed to some team like CWS which would have him as more utility. Good on him. Hopefully it works out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poppysox Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Why is it that when a rumor breaks that a player is signing for some other team...that rumor is confirmed with the player signing within that day? When it's a WS rumor it goes on for months and dies a slow and painful death. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CWSpalehoseCWS Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 I honestly thought Madrigal would have been moved and La Stella was going to be the 2B. Really hope the Sox didn't shoot themselves in the foot with the lack of movement since the Hendriks deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am putting an inordinate amount of faith in Katz being a miracle worker. The FO has grown tired of having seemingly talented prospects like Cease & Lopez go nowhere. I think it's probable someone like Wainwright will be signed but I am disappointed we don't aim a bit higher. I try to remember it ain't over until the fat lady sings. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am excited to see what Katz can do but would certainly like more options. I know it's not gonna happen but I keep hoping for a short term deal with Bauer....it would make us a team to beat.

TomPickle Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 The Giants are an interesting team. I don't think they are particularly good at this point, but they have a bunch of useful enough players and they do a good job of maximizing their talents.

Good on him. Hopefully it works out. I am not convinced he’d get more playing time with Giants. They got Solano who is solid at 2B, and Flores will get reps there too. At least with Sox he’d be able to DH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rounding_Third Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 This must be more about staying in the bay area. The Giants are already set 3rd-1st. Utility role? Glad to hear though that "he fills their need for a LH bat". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not feeling like that is very likely anymore, however. Bauer or Tanaka would help this team in a big way. Still hoping to be happily surprised every time I come to this site.

If they got Bauer and play the year without any major injuries they would be favored to win the WS. So it boils down to money- plain and simple.

Rounding_Third Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Just saw the Tigers signed Wilson Ramos for a paltry $2m. Good thing we didn't need him, either. At $2m, it would have broken the bank. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
