Lukakke Appling Posted December 16 Share Posted December 16 (edited) I would trade him for a comp pick centered deal in a heartbeat. One of those picks with our bonus pool would be awesome. But who knows, we’ll have to wait and see. Edited December 16 by Lukakke Appling 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But who knows, we’ll have to wait and see. yea that would be a creative move. we'll see how getz does. so far I think he's done a good job keeping his powder dry. obvious fringe moves have been made, some perhaps more impactful ones still to come but no rush. Hahn I felt always was compelled to move to move. Sometimes better just to wait and see especially given our resources for MLB payroll.

caulfield12 Posted December 16 Author Share Posted December 16 MLBTR’s Steve Adams reported yesterday that Foster Griffin has spoken to eight different teams with varying interest levels in his services, while MLBNetwork’s Jon Morosi added that a deal could come together soon for Griffin. Which team will land the intriguing lefty? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Sacamano Posted December 16 Share Posted December 16 Could use another lefty in rotation. Do we gamble on guys who sucked here and didn’t stints oversea for a second time this offseason? I think I’d prefer someone a little more stable but I guess if you’re paying what you paid Kay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the high K rate, I assumed he’d be too risky of a signing for us, but maybe that scares off a few teams and most of the big market teams have 1B in place right that might limit his market? At minimum, it would add a fuckton of excitement for the franchise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CWSpalehoseCWS Posted December 16 Share Posted December 16 1 minute ago, Chicago White Sox said: Everything I have seen has Murakami getting a lot more than Okamoto. And he should. Okamoto is much older, and while he is probably the 'safer' immediate option, Murakami has much higher potential. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you listen to the audio clip, it is total speculation without any sources just because the White Sox “have money to spend.” Apparently the commentators don’t know that Jerry doesn’t want to spend any money.

caulfield12 Posted Tuesday at 09:36 PM Author Share Posted Tuesday at 09:36 PM Houser at 2/$22 demonstrates how strong the market still is for starting pitching. But don't think the Dodgers are exactly quaking in their boots over this move from Posey. Recently Valdez buzz has really fallen off and ... Now attention's focused on Murakami Okamoto and Imai due to their signing deadlines...pretty sure Imai is around January 8th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago White Sox Posted Tuesday at 09:41 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 09:41 PM Out of curiosity, which teams are an actual threat for Murakami? Of the high spending teams, maybe the Red Sox? Most of the other ones are already locked in at 1B. Maybe there is a second tier team that is desperate for a 1B upgrade, but the market for a big name 1B addition looks soft right now. Again, it very much reminds of the situation when we got Abrue. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
