Sox to Make Hard Push for Granderson

Featured Replies

Hopefully we don't go after him. We have enough guys with an OBP below .330.

Great show today on @SportsTalkCHI as @cgrand14 joins the panel. Is he interested in the White Sox? Plus, a whole lot of #Bears talk!!

I'm watching. Nothing groundmoving in terms of information. I will say he is perhaps the most wellspoken MLBer I have seen. Gives a great interview. Can see why so many people like him.

It makes me think KW is running the team.

Of course he's interested IF the Sox pay him more than the $14.1 M QO which would be pretty silly.

Didn't know he was still playing

Well, I guess we can debate "ever seen" then, haha.

 

If the poster was say, 55 years old, just depends on the context.

Well then it clearly would go to Earl Weaver

That's his M.O. - low OBP, declining veterans.

Like Nick Swisher and Adam Dunn?

Has Granderson accepted the QO yet? Everyone's been saying that it's over for us, but I haven't heard an official word yet.

No and he probably won't accept it. The reason it's probably over for the Sox is they would have to give up their 2nd round draft pick and probably aren't willing to do so for a player of Grandersons caliber.

I think that from this point forward that we'll have a similar offseason to last year where we signed Keppinger (this year Salty/AJP/Ruiz) and Lindstrom (this year O'Flaherty/Logan).

boring

And of course, the Peavy signing translated to the Abreu signing.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Nov 6, 2013 -> 11:10 PM)
So quick to forget your avi there?

 

Well, the comment he was referring to said "from THIS POINT forward". The Abreu signing happened before this point.

Correct. Granderson ain't gonna happen.

Phil Rogers ‏@philgrogers 2m

 

With @cgrand14 rejecting the Yankees' qualifying offer, he's definitely on White Sox radar. Strong support within baseball ops

I just replied and told Phil he's crazy. Rogers has had a hard-on for Grandy for years. My buddy was Curtis Granderson's roommate at UIC. He would be shocked if it happened. Not willing to give up draft selection. Bucket or Rock, are you hearing anything on this?

Does rejecting the Q.O. mean he thinks he'll get more on market?

Chuck Garfien ‏@ChuckGarfien 13s

 

Yes. But they'll have competition. RT @ashton_rotman @ChuckGarfien is Curtis Granderson an actual possibility for White Sox?

Maybe not over 1 year but more security

Granderson rejected $14.1M from the Yankees. They might offer more but even if they don't do you really think the Sox will? I don't. Granderson is a no go for the Sox IMO

No team is going to give up a high pick to sign him to a short term deal though. It doesn't make any sense. Some of these guys will end up like Kyle Lohse and Michael Bourn waiting forever to get a deal.
