If we are going to carry a Jake Burger, i would rather have the left handed version anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burger shouldn't sniff the MLB roster if its healthy. He'll certainly be needed at some point, but if Burger breaks camp with the team, that is very bad news. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
he gone. Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 On 10/26/2022 at 9:25 AM, Squirmin' for Yermin said: On 10/26/2022 at 8:53 AM, he gone. said: Just a reminder Conforto turned down a 1/18mm deal ... I know he had a shoulder, but I'd be shocked if he takes less than 15mm on a year deal. I'd venture he'd take something like 3/42mm just as a safety net on years if you gave him options out after each year (like nick martinez), but he's not settling for 10mm on a year basis. He will be much lower since he hasnt played in a year and the year before that he was not very good. He will be a 1 year deal guy with high incentives. Said I'd bookmark this for when he signed... he got 2/36mm with the opt out after year one. On 10/26/2022 at 10:04 AM, he gone. said: On 10/26/2022 at 9:25 AM, Squirmin' for Yermin said: He will be much lower since he hasnt played in a year and the year before that he was not very good.

Seiya Suzuki, $17mm annually, Avi garcia $13.25mm annually, Soler $12mm annually (all multi year), Mark Canha $13.25mm annually...Schwarbs $20mm. Andrew McCutchen got $8.5mm, Tommy Pham got $7.5mm... If you're saying the price of Conforto is less than Mark Canha just cause of a shoulder injury and time off then sign me up. Getting the same type of deal that McCutchen got would be a steal. I'd fire my agent in a second if that's what he told me to sign. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texsox Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 Making summer plans during the off season. Full day at Cooperstown? Half day? Other things to do in the area? We're heading to Maine then across Canada to Thunder Bay then back to a Texas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My dad's mobility isn't good and he doesn't do well on his feet for extended periods, but not bad enough that he needs a walker or wheelchair. The baseball HOF was very light on spots to sit compared to most museums. As a result we ended up only spending about 90 minutes there.

South Side Hit Men Posted December 24, 2022 Share Posted December 24, 2022 I found a perfect HOF day was to get there around open to early afternoon and then drive to NYC for a game. Was fortunate to see the greatest shutout (22-0) against the Yankees in their history, an excellent nightcap to a great baseball day. Yankees Stadium is one of only two of the 42 MLB stadiums I've visited where I felt compelled to pay to park to have a car after the game. Kansas City was the other, though that was due to the layout of the stadium "neighborhood" and lack of walking options than concern of car theft.

You’ll be in the Finger Lakes area of upstate New York. Tons of parks and outdoor spots, lots of waterfalls. Within driving distance of a neat glass museum in Corning NY, could drive to the Poconos or Syracuse or the lakefront. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I’d like to add left-handed/switch hitters wherever possible but I guess if the in-house options are right-handed, I wouldn’t hate a Segura signing. Especially if he has to take a 1 year deal (maybe with option). I still think he’s a fit for the Dodgers or Red Sox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Ketel’s contract, he probably doesn’t have a ton of surplus value coming off 22. Perhaps Sox could get him for something like Graveman + Burger + backend filler piece (Dalquist/Yolbert type). They have room to give Burger at bats. Impact to Sox payroll only a few million for 2023. edit - not that it means much, but trade sim says that deal is well in favor of Dbacks and even would be flipping Kelly in for Graveman. Doubt dbacks would view it that way, tho! Edited December 27, 2022 by ChiSox59 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marte probably doesn't have a ton of trade value, so they can't really expect to get much prospect-wise. They could of course hold in hopes he has a big 2023, and then re-assess. He is controlled thru 2027 at $73M ($14.6M AAV), with a $13M club option for 2028. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago White Sox Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 This team needs to keep adding. A 4th OF is a must. I’d love to see us acquire a LH hitting infielder, even if they aren’t a lock-down starter at 2B. The bench right now is a bit of a mess, especially if you’re going with Romy or Sosa as the primary 2B. Leury clogging up with roster doesn’t help matters either. And I hope we see a couple SPs brought in on minor league deals. Obviously they won’t be studs, but we desperately need to beef up Charlotte’s rotation with guys that can at least be replacement level if called upon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eminor3rd Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 For the fifteenth year in a row, the Sox don't have enough SP depth. I don't expect it to be addressed directly, but I'm hoping for at least one veteran minor league signing as camp gets closer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
