Harrison / Leury is fine in the 9 hole if Conforto is signed. If no RF is signed, I hate it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomPickle Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 I guess you guys were right and you can just go out and sign a Madrigal like 2B for nothing. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least OAA likes his defense. His xBA was good too, which is odd given how bad his hard hit and EV numbers were. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah - I don’t hate the move. But I’d rather just save the money. They better upgrade somewhere cause they are spending a lot of money on Mediocrity. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiSox59 Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 MLBTR reporting it’s actually a $1.5M option for 23, not a buyout. Could be a typo tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if he does fall off a cliff someone among Leury, Mendick, and Romy should be able to provide competent play. This gives them another option for $7 mil. As long as this and Kelly aren't the final two moves it's fine in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chitownsportsfan Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 So they traded away a club controlled guy and a likely 2.5 WAR 2B for some b**** ass overpaid guy that can't pitch non 9th scenarios who they now are trading for .50 on the dollar in order to spend the first moves of the offeason trying to FILL THOSE HOLES ON THE CHEAP.

FFS. TBF, there aren’t exactly a plethora of 2B on the FA market. Sadly, Harrison was one of the better options. Doesn’t make trading Madrigal for an overpaid reliever any better. But it’s not like the FA marker was flush with better options. Just sign Conforto and Idgaf who plays 2B. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
