October 9, 201510 yr Jon Heyman @JonHeymanCBS 24m24 minutes ago Manhattan, NY jeff samardzija could be yankees pitching target. http://cbsprt.co/1FWoUJc
October 9, 201510 yr I'm all ready to be pissed when Samardzija has an ERA around 3 with his new team next season.
October 9, 201510 yr QUOTE (Sockin @ Oct 9, 2015 -> 10:19 AM) Good news, I'll take the 22nd draft pick. That's not how it works...
October 9, 201510 yr QUOTE (Sockin @ Oct 9, 2015 -> 10:19 AM) Good news, I'll take the 22nd draft pick. The Yankees will just lose that pick at 22 and it vanishes. The Sox will get a comp pick at the end of the first round. Edited October 9, 201510 yr by lasttriptotulsa
October 9, 201510 yr Thank god. I don't want that mediocre pitcher anywhere close to a Sox uniform next year. Good riddance...
October 9, 201510 yr Seems like an awful fit given the power lefties hit for off of him and the short porch in RF
October 9, 201510 yr QUOTE (Dunt @ Oct 9, 2015 -> 11:33 AM) A fly ball pitcher in that stadium. What could go wrong? Imagine if he pitched in Coors Field for half his starts...lol his ERA would be over 6 for sure.
October 9, 201510 yr Reporters must be hard up to fill their twitter quotas, if we have to read constant speculation. I am sure Smard will be targeted by a number of clubs and I bet the Sox talk to him too
October 9, 201510 yr He and Rothschild are familiar with each other from their time on the Cubs, so it makes sense. It also shouldn't surprise anyone when he promptly bounces back next year, and his one magical season on the Sox will end up being an outlier year.

I'd imagine that they'd be much more likely to target him if they were looking to make major FA acquisitions elsewhere as well such that he'd only cost them a 2nd rounder.

October 9, 201510 yr Must give credit to Iwritecode. He initially came up with 15.5M so I'd say he was pretty damn close. This is good since there's no chance Samardzija accepts the QO. Bye bye.

There were projections earlier in the summer that it would be north of $17M. It lowers the risk of Shark accepting at least.
October 9, 201510 yr I remember reading over the summer where Shark to the Yankees at some point (or the Dodgers or Cardinals) was a possibility. Wouldn't surprise me in the least. Nor would it surprise me if he rebounded to have a good year as soon as he got out of town. Has happened going all the way back to David Wells. That's the "White Sox way."

IF the team is going to suck I'd rather it be due to youth than veterans.

Shark had a lousy season with a few hints that he could pitch better. One year is good test. I would say let someone else overpay but keep Q maybe we could ge some offense to back him up
October 14, 201510 yr Yankees would be a good spot for him and go back to their former ways of overpaying for average to below average players/pitchers.

October 14, 201510 yr QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Oct 14, 2015 -> 03:48 PM) Hahn said we're gonna offer the QO. Never a doubt in my mind. And he will reject it.
