February 26, 201610 yr He turned down 5 Million from the Angels. Who here sees the Sox topping that? Not me.
February 26, 201610 yr QUOTE (Al Lopez's Ghost @ Feb 25, 2016 -> 08:51 PM) He turned down 5 Million from the Angels. Who here sees the Sox topping that? Not me. Trade. It's gonna be via trade.
February 26, 201610 yr QUOTE (hi8is @ Feb 25, 2016 -> 11:01 PM) Trade. It's gonna be via trade. Agree. I was just talking about Austin Jackson.
February 26, 201610 yr 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
February 26, 201610 yr QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Feb 26, 2016 -> 07:43 AM) I'd offer Jackson a 2 year deal for $16 million. Would be a nice deal. 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.
February 26, 201610 yr QUOTE (iWin4Ron @ Feb 26, 2016 -> 07:47 AM) There goes Venable. Another one bites the dust. Will Venable sucks.
February 26, 201610 yr QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Feb 26, 2016 -> 07:50 AM) Will Venable sucks. Takes away a potential landing spot for someone better though (Jackson).
February 26, 201610 yr QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Feb 26, 2016 -> 07:51 AM) Takes away a potential landing spot for someone better though (Jackson). Well yes that's true. I didn't think Cleveland could afford Jackson though anyway.
February 26, 201610 yr 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.

February 26, 201610 yr Is Venable to the Indians a done deal at this point or is it just speculation?
February 26, 201610 yr QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Feb 26, 2016 -> 08:06 AM) Is Venable to the Indians a done deal at this point or is it just speculation? According to Rosenthal, Venable is at the Indians camp today.
February 26, 201610 yr QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Feb 26, 2016 -> 02:50 PM) Will Venable sucks. is he worst that Avi with ref to the defense????
February 26, 201610 yr QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Feb 26, 2016 -> 03:10 PM) According to Rosenthal, Venable is at the Indians camp today. maybe it is nothing or could be something. i am going to take this at face value and say, good for cle to allow Venable the area to get in shape until his contract is serrle.
February 26, 201610 yr 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, 201610 yr by fathom

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. To me it doesn't matter either way since I don't really have any interest in Venable anyway.

February 26, 201610 yr QUOTE (fathom @ Feb 26, 2016 -> 09:18 AM) Cubs signed Victorino! Watch them sign Jackson too just for the hell of it.
February 26, 201610 yr 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. Rangers biggest threat, IMO
