They wouldn't have been outrighted if they wanted to become free agents, and at this time of year, I can't imagine them not taking a shot in free agency.

GreenSox Posted October 13 Share Posted October 13 Whew. A bit worried for a while that they might have to expose Curtis Mead, Derek Hill or Ben Cowles. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you just mix and match first and last names of former A’s players, or are those actual members of the White Sox? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No reason to expose Elko, especially with as much filler as is on this 40 man. But then again, maybe so, because I think they need to do a lot more culling. I would say that Palette, 4-rounds Kelly, Dalquist, busts as starters, but not terrible as relievers should be protected over these guys. And then make a number of rule 5 picks.....the guys they ae kicking off the 40 man are org guys at this point, so they could get fortunate like last year.

I think Payton Pallette and maybe they're trying to get a longer look at Jarold Rosado? Other than that, they got more guys to protect on the starter side. Mason Adams, Tyler Schweitzer, Tanner McDougal, Conner McCullough, Shane Murphy, Aldrin Batista. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CWSpalehoseCWS Posted October 13 Share Posted October 13 I'm surprised Robertson has any value to another MLB team. There wasn't a single thing he did that I was impressed with in his short sampling this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's always that catch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timmy U Posted October 14 Share Posted October 14 Derek Hill survived nothing. He’s arb eligible and to cut him they would non-tender, not try to pass him through waivers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
