November 9, 201510 yr QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Nov 9, 2015 -> 07:30 AM) If the Pirates are actually out, then the Astros or Sox are the favorites IMO. Astros have AJ Reed ready to go
November 9, 201510 yr Rockies are serious players for Park, per The Purple Row this morning. Edited November 9, 201510 yr by oldsox
November 9, 201510 yr @Buster_ESPN: This is not a confirmation, but some rival evaluators believe that Oakland won the bidding for Byung-ho Park. Again: Not confirmation.
November 9, 201510 yr QUOTE (oldsox @ Nov 9, 2015 -> 07:42 AM) Rockies are serious players for Park, per The Purple Row this morning. Not sure how they can be serious players for him, it's not free agency. They either bid or they didn't.
November 9, 201510 yr As we chase it down: Source tells @Keithlaw Oakland didn't win bidding on Park. Onward… https://twitter.com/Buster_ESPN/status/663717720207290368
November 9, 201510 yr QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Nov 9, 2015 -> 08:03 AM) I'd seriously be stunned if we made this move... It would be hard to understand, unless the guy can play another position.
November 9, 201510 yr I'll never understand why the Rockies don't get guys like this. Even mediocre guys put up good numbers at Coors, so why don't they try to stack their lineup consistently like the Jays did this year? It literally makes no sense to me.
November 9, 201510 yr QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Nov 9, 2015 -> 08:03 AM) I'd seriously be stunned if we made this move... Im not sure I would be. Seems like a total White Sox move. Take a chance on a guy that may produce for less money than top free agents. The LaRoche contract makes it a little murky, but as I said earlier, the Sox had 3 1B/DH 2 seasons ago, so it's not like it's out of the realm of possibility.

I think if we get this guy or an outfielder, they have every intention of ridding themselves of LaRoche.
November 9, 201510 yr Phillies, Brewers, Reds, Cubs, White Sox, Twins, and Astros. Is this the current list?
November 9, 201510 yr QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Nov 9, 2015 -> 08:08 AM) Phillies, Brewers, Reds, Cubs, White Sox, Twins, and Astros. Is this the current list? I think so, but I'm 99% sure that the Cubs, Brewers, Phillies, and Reds aren't interested in him. That leaves us with: White Sox, Twins, Astros
November 9, 201510 yr QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Nov 9, 2015 -> 08:08 AM) Phillies, Brewers, Reds, Cubs, White Sox, Twins, and Astros. Is this the current list? Yup. Reds and Cubs dont need a 1B, so neither of those make sense. Phillies and Brewers are in full rebuilds. So I have this down to a 3 team race.

That leaves us with: White Sox, Twins, Astros I would rule the Cubs out due to Rizzo/Bryant and the Reds due to Votto/Frazier, but I wouldn't say the same about the Reds or Phillies. Also, the Twins have Mauer and Sano, so I don't think they'd be interested.

Also, the Twins have Mauer and Sano, so I don't think they'd be interested. The Phillies and Brewers are "rebuilding", so I doubt that they'd be interested in this guy. That being said, the Sox probably should be rebuilding too but we all know that they won't.
November 9, 201510 yr If the Astros get this guy, maybe the Sox could pry Jonathan Singleton away from them. He seems like a good change of scenary candidate.
November 9, 201510 yr Certainly would be interesting considering there's a 30 day negotiating window and we'd have 30 days to deal with LaDunn
November 9, 201510 yr I haven't watched any of his footage or read his scouting report because I didn't think we'd actually be one of the few teams not ruled out of winning the bidding. Better go do that now.
November 9, 201510 yr Until the Rockies are ruled out, I'm going to assume it's them. It makes the most sense.
November 9, 201510 yr He's got a nice bat flip....watching hot stove on MLBN and they showed a couple highlights
