January 5, 201610 yr https://twitter.com/Buster_ESPN/status/684081387805224962 Source: Doug Fister said to have offers of 1 and 2 years from multiple teams. The other guy mentioning the Sox and Fister is a troll.

January 5, 201610 yr The White Sox usually like to add a team option to contracts with guys like this. If they are offering pitching at USCF and that potential team option probably is enough to get him to take something else.
January 5, 201610 yr I could dig a one year deal. He probably won't be looking for more. And with a weak pitching market he could look to cash in. Plus if he pitches well, we could offer a QO.
January 5, 201610 yr ARE WE SERIOUSLY STILL QUOTING NICKYMITCH??! If the whole Cespedes debacle didn't prove that he's just a kid creating rumors, I don't know what else will...
January 5, 201610 yr Am I wrong for not wanting this guy? I read earlier today his velocity was down to 86 last season. Are there any indicators that might show his velocity will return?

You might be onto something there. It could explain the rumors earlier in the off season with the Sox shopping Johnson.
January 5, 201610 yr QUOTE (reiks12 @ Jan 5, 2016 -> 03:51 AM) Reminder that Fister was traded for a Furbush
January 5, 201610 yr I have no interest in Fister at all. I would rather give Erik Johnson the chance to prove himself.

I certainly would too, but that's all up to Cooper. Cooper gave Noesi a year to prove himself (or not); Johnson went external to get some help to straighten out. Regardless they need another pitcher on the 25 who can start; put him in long relief as insurance. There's really no one in the upper minors if Danks or Johnson fails.

Right now I say the 6th starter/long relief man is Jacob Turner.
January 5, 201610 yr QUOTE (lasttriptotulsa @ Jan 5, 2016 -> 10:50 AM) Right now I say the 6th starter/long relief man is Jacob Turner. He might even be 5th, or at the very least he is in competition for it.
January 5, 201610 yr QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jan 5, 2016 -> 10:53 AM) He might even be 5th, or at the very least he is in competition for it. That's scary. He pitched 9 minor league innings in 2015.
January 5, 201610 yr QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jan 5, 2016 -> 10:54 AM) That's scary. He pitched 9 minor league innings in 2015. How many pitchers the Sox have no interest in do they spend $1.5 million on?
January 5, 201610 yr QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jan 5, 2016 -> 10:59 AM) How many pitchers the Sox have no interest in do they spend $1.5 million on? Who said they had no interest? But reality indicates he would really be beating great odds spending 2016 in a major league rotation. If they truly are counting on him, and expecting to compete, that is a bit scary.
January 5, 201610 yr QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jan 5, 2016 -> 08:59 AM) How many pitchers the Sox have no interest in do they spend $1.5 million on? $1.5M is not much money in this era (baseball wise). That is less money than the Sox gave Beckham last year.
