DirtySox Posted December 6, 2023 Share Posted December 6, 2023 Sure. Hope he continues to ball out and flip him at the deadline. Fine with this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Sacamano Posted December 6, 2023 Share Posted December 6, 2023 I know they have the open 40-man spot now and can DFA someone before Rule 5 draft but this probably won’t even be official until after the draft, right? Also, does anyone know what time that draft is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eminor3rd Posted December 6, 2023 Share Posted December 6, 2023 You never know how these guys will translate, really have to depend on your scouting. With the White Sox as the most (only?) aggressive suitor, unfortunately I have to believe it's more likely a bad signing. I highly doubt they even got a live look at him. But whatever, hope I'm wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But whatever, hope I'm wrong. The Mets were clearly interested in him, that was leaked yesterday along with a dollar amount. The White Sox seemingly had to come back and beat that dollar amount. It's a sensible gamble, if he has a great first half he's easily moveable, if he's terrible then it's a minor loss, and hopefully he at least becomes a moveable contract by the middle of the year.

Oh I agree. Just saying, the next time the Sox figure something out that no one else knows in Asia will be the first time 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm optimistic about the move, he seems like a diamond in the rough, and now Bannister's so-called "pitching lab" will be put to the test. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least we are attempting to actually have an approach for the first time since the height of the Don Cooper years at the big league level. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love both of those guys, but, the Sox got one 1WAR season out of Shingo. I'll grant you Iguchi unconditionally. But the world was a very different place back then.
