Bet its the Brewers. Could be Twins. Don't see a fit on other teams.

Where exactly would the Cubs play Park? Unless Epstein knows something we don't and the NL is adding the DH this season.

 

if they win, put or play park in the spring training, if he does well, trade rizzo for some major talent or see how he does in the outfield.

Reds or Cubs would be bonkers. I'm surprised we're still not eliminated, but what do you know?

 

Gotta be Brewers, Twins, or White Sox.

Down to Sox, Twins, & Brewers. Given reports on his defense, I'll say us or Brewers.

I don't see how it can be Minnesota when they have Mauer/Sano/Plouffe at 1B/DH/3B

Twins trade Plouffe before he gets expensive. Install Sano at 3B.

That's why this is kind of fascinating. Trying to see where he fits.

Plouffe can be traded for value with Sano moving to 3B. Makes a lot of sense if they believe in Park's bat.

If it helps, Ben Badler reported yesterday that Byung-ho Park looked awful in Cuba this week, 1-for-7 with 5 K's vs some very poor pitching

Would fit right in with the Sox lol

Brewers, Reds, Cubs, White Sox and Twins are only teams left in the Byung-Ho Park sweepstakes. Cubs/Reds make no sense at all.

That kind of stuff could keep his contract a little lower. The thing is, even if you win the bidding, if you don't sign him, you get your money back.

Daniel Kim is a legit baseball commentator in Korea, so if that's his real Twitter account, maybe there's some legs here (if you ignore the "Blue Socks" part.)

It is an intriguing tweet... we'll see

That's the last thing the Cubs are gonna do.

and for this discussion, how would they fix the 1b situation is they win the Park contest??

Alas, no bat flips.

 

Dan Kim said Twins, but nothing has been confirmed.

Fun while it lasted

It didn't seem to make much sense, but if they had won the bidding it would have been interesting to see what the plan was.

 

He does take a healthy cut. I don't know if that works when he's facing 95.

Looking like maybe the twins

Go for Plouffe now
