MiddleCoastBias Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 10 minutes ago, LittleHurtCG said: Is Grandal totally cooked or will someone give him a one year deal for around 2 or 3 million this offseason? He'll bounce around for a couple years still, I bet. Reminds me of the Jonathan Lucroy situation - dude was a stud through 2016, hottest thing at the position, gets his money, big trade target. 2017 comes and he doesn't sniff a .700 OPS again. Kicks around on 8 different teams over the next 4+ seasons. MLB catchers are like NFL coaches, they're always given another shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wegner Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 1 hour ago, South Side Hit Men said: Could see the Yankees doing that, unless Rodon has the power to veto it. Donaldson would definitely veto based on Grandal's role defending Tim in the Jackie Robinson incident. The Yankees have to eat $6M to make Donaldson go away. Fucking dumbasses. Hope they never win another World Series. I wholeheartedly endorse that message 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScootsMcGoots Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 (edited) Veterans in this league that are a shell of their former selves still have a place in the league...if they can bring something to the table in terms of leadership or culture building. Mentoring skills. Unfortunately Grandal doesn't really have those, so, I think the Sox are probably stuck with him.

NCsoxfan Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 Does it tell us anything that the perennial contenders rarely compete with us when we splurge on FA’s? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tnetennba Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 You mean nobody wants to give up something for an overpaid DFA candidate? GASP! Seriously though, he's cooked, is awful behind the plate, and doesn't bring much to a team beyond empty OBP. A bag of balls or a fringe lotto ticket *if* the Sox ate significant dollars. If no one takes him, I hope they cut bait Aug 2. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiSox59 Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 I think someone grabs him tomorrow. Sox eat all but $1M or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hogan873 Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 Unless Lee is ready to join the ML club, I don't see a reason to DFA Grandal. And if Lee is ready, does it make more sense to drop Grandal or Seby? They're eating Grandal's salary either way (if he's not traded). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they eat a good chunk of that I think they can at least get a lotto ticket prospect back for him. Would rather do that than just DFA him.

Call up Perez and see what he can do with 4-5 starts the next week. Once Lee is healthy and ready to go, call him up and give him the keys the rest of the season. Grandal should have played his last game with the Sox at this point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seby, while not good, might stick around as a backup. There is zero reason to hang onto Yaz. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually don't hate Yaz like most, but he's done with the White Sox after this season. They are done even trying to compete this season. They need to play other guys. Lee will probably be ready in a week or two. Carlos Perez should get a chance to play some games. See what you have. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timmy U Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 Lee is going to DH tomorrow in Charlotte. I can imagine him being on the mlb team in 7-10 days. I would keep Grandal until then. I am over Perez. From my looks, he can’t throw and he’s not a good receiver. That’s not a good recipe when you stuff the staff with AAAA guys who have decent stuff they don’t control well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a 100% chance he clears if Sox DFA's him. No one is claiming all ~$6M he is owed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
