Princess Dye Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 Venable perhaps will be with the Indians...which might mean they will stay away from AJax? Venable was also mentioned as a fit for the Sox needs too  https://twitter.com/Ken_Rosenthal/status/703211280098828288  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Y2Jimmy0 Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 I'd offer Jackson a 2 year deal for $16 million. Would be a nice deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â I bet a one year deal with a starting role is more likely what he wants so he can re-establish himself and enter free agency at the end of this year.

TheFutureIsNear Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 Yeah at this point I see no other other reasonable option than just giving Austin Jackson something like 2/$14-16M and seeing what happens. If we are still in it at the all-star break the FO can then reevaluate and make their move on a trade. The trade will be a lot more clear at that point and teams will be more willing to deal. The 3 top 40 picks will really revitalize our system and possibly make someone more expendable in a trade. At this point we really can't afford to give up the few prospects we do have.

I think that's very reasonable, good call Jimmy. Â As for Venable, I don't think the Sox missed out on much there. The Indians can have him.

fathom Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 (edited) Great that Venable is gone. Didn't want him with the Sox. With that said, it scares me that Victorino is still lurking. Edited February 26, 2016 by fathom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Venable is likely at the Indians camp taking his physical and now the Indians are waiting for the results before they make the official announcement.

fathom Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 FA outfielders left are: Jackson, Murphy, RIOS, DeJesus, Raburn  Jackson to the Sox seems like the obvious fit, with the other teams supposedly interested in him looking elsewhere or being rejected.
