#Brewers, #Angels, #Rangers have kicked the tires on free agent OF Austin Jackson. #Cubs could be a fit for the right price.

Since the Cespedes saga seems to be nearing an end I thought I'd post this. Good news is his market is picking up. Bad news is we arent mentioned.

Can't wait for an Avi/Venable platoon

Why give Avi any help? They want him to play...let him play

many thanks for this.

 

what gets me is the Brewers being involve. .... several weeks ago, there was talk of the brewers may.... may look at moving Ryan Braun b/c of his salary and yrs of the contract.... why would they look into getting Jackson???

 

i was thinking of the brewers as one team i was going to mention if the sox lost out on jackson and cespy.... to look at trading for.

 

Just speculating but both the Angels and Rangers had some degree of interest in Cespedes and now that it appears he's close to signing, rumors come about their interest in Jackson. Jackson's market had been dead silent until today.

 

Anyway, I hope the Sox show some interest in Jackson.

Ya, I don't get the Brewers interest. They are rebuilding and have plenty of young talented outfielders. A veteran like Jackson makes no sense for the Brewers.

Actually it does if they can sign him to a 1 year deal for cheap and flip him at the deadline for prospects.

you know, that is shrewd ....

 

thinking outside the box.... i like it.

I don't think Austin Jackson is going to be banking any top prospects for anyone at the deadline. He's a 4th outfielder, don't see a lot of demand for that at the deadline, at least to the degree that you're getting anything good in return.

That also takes at bats away from one of their younger outfielders they are trying to develop. The Rangers and Angels make sense but the Brewers, nah.

and you are prob right..... i was just saying why the other poster was a really good idea....

 

i love it when someone can be creative .... hence my statement of thinking outside the box.

 

btw, i meant no offense . ok.

I dont know if silence from the White Sox as far as interest goes is a good thing. Possibly they've decided to roll with Avi if Cespedes doesnt go their way.

Jackson was a fourth outfielder last year but he's still very young and was a starter his entire career until his anemic July 2014 got him traded by the Tigers.

Any free agent who is undervalued makes sense for potentially any team. Brewers could sign him, have him succeed and trade him at the deadline for prospects.

Yeah perfect guy for Brewers in a rebuild. I really have warmed to Jackson, if no Yo. I think he's exactly the guy that's smart to sign absent a big move.

I agree,, its not like Jackson will net a top prospect at the deadline.

Ryan Braun, Domingo Santana, Khris Davis, Keon Broxton and Ramon Flores are what the Brewers currently have for the OF with highly regarded prospect Brett Phillips at AAA. The Brewers are loaded with young outfielders with Braun being the exception. Signing Jackson would only take at bats away from one of their young outfielders which would stupid if the team is trying to develop them. They won't develop sitting on the bench watching Jackson. Rebuilding teams give the youth a chance to play. The only way Jackson makes sense is if the Brewers were contenders or short on outfielders and neither apply in this case.

Brewers really make little sense here...

He would just be a stop gap until until their CF prospect is ready apparently. And they don't have a CF on the current roster.

Let's hope we hear about some interest from the Sox standpoint.

Per Castrovince, the Indians are out on AJax.

Wow, Cleveland is hurting. The rest of the ALC is lucky that Indians fans aren't going to ball games (29th in attendance in 2015) or Cleveland would have an even better team than they currently do.

 

And I though things were bad for the Sox...
