WilliamTell Posted July 24, 2005 Share Posted July 24, 2005 Poor Shingo. I wonder if it's back to Japan for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted July 24, 2005 Share Posted July 24, 2005 No no no. Teams just don't want to trade for him. I think they know they'll get a shot to negotiate with him and are just going to wait for that. Â Shingo will be picked up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvilJester99 Posted July 24, 2005 Share Posted July 24, 2005 I was actually kind of hoping he would sign a minor league deal to stay with the Sox and maybe work some of his problems out in the minors and maybe come back to the big club sometime or another....

The Sox woudln't of had to do that. I think they knew they weren't going to use Shingo and wanted to give him a shot to catch on somewhere else. Shingo had all his options left so they could of sent him to the minors. Â Instead they designated him for assignement and removed him from the 40 (opening up a roster spot).

Dick Allen Posted July 24, 2005 Share Posted July 24, 2005 Per Levine, it doesn't appear the Sox will deal him, and they are hoping he will go down to Charlotte, but they think he'll opt to become a free agent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AngelasDaddy0427 Posted July 24, 2005 Share Posted July 24, 2005 Could you imagine if Shingo signed with the Cubs, became their closer, and delivered them the wildcard? Wow thats a bad thought... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow thats a bad thought... Dempster's 14 for 14 in save opps, the Cubs are looking for bullpen help but if they picked up Shingo he wouldn't close.

JUGGERNAUT Posted July 24, 2005 Share Posted July 24, 2005 He has no options. That's why he was designated for assignment. It's up to Shingo if he's not traded. He can accept assignment to Charlotte & keep his pay or he can opt for FA & lose his pay. The only way he avoids Charlotte & keeps his pay is if the WSox choose to simply release him. Â My guess is that he will opt for Charlotte. Why? Because then he can be called up in Sept when the roster expands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JUGGERNAUT Posted July 24, 2005 Share Posted July 24, 2005 Why would he have no options? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Â Options are inherited from minor league contracts so free agents who have never signed a minor league contract are not eligible. The option is associated with the player & not the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The D'backs gave up Matt Kata (util inf) who could have helped the Sox... too bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White Sox Josh Posted July 24, 2005 Share Posted July 24, 2005 i have a feeling he will stay with the sox in the minors. The reasoning is because i'm not sure if there is a market for him because everyone wants all of the sexy names on the market like Mesa, Wagner, and Baez. Especially if the Burnett trade is made, than KW will probably tell him stay with the organazation and you might have a good shot of making the team in September or earlier. JMO.

Plus you are talking about the same GM that thought joe borowski would be a better solution than Dustin Hermanson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
