Pants Rowland Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 7 minutes ago, SoCalChiSox said: Nice. I'm mystified that we can't afford anything one minute but somehow are prolly gonna shell out 4/70 or something in that area the next second. Either they have something lined up already to shed payroll or someone persuaded JR to ease up a bit. We know KW loved this kid going back to the draft and PG prolly also gave him a stamp of approval I assume from KC. His stats vs ALC are very good. Classic underpromise, over deliver strategy. They'll come out with some comments saying despite prior announcements, they saw an opportunity to get better so they pushed the budget and hopefully the fans reward them via attendance. Blah blah blah. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Polanco and Gleyber as an up the middle combo defensively is brutal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Won’t happen but it’d be the best move they’d make this offseason 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beggers can't be choosers and the Sox need outfielders. The Sox still need another OFer if they sign Benintendi. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheFutureIsNear Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 Of course gotta wait on $, but this is a solid move to fill a big hole. Nothing special, but we certainly can’t complain about a solid move at this point 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this for sure means they are going with Colas in right. They may sign a back up ala Engel, but they're not going to spend any more on OF, imho. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depending on Victor Reyes or Mark Payton to be that guy is a bad idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quin Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 I'll be damned, they signed someone. Still need a RF. Sucks Gallo is off the board. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
