hopefully the white sox can get vmart to sign a two year deal with a club option for a 3rd year or something but i doubt it i think he stays in detroit

all this excitement coming from the other side of the city got me feeling like will before uncle phil helped him find an apartment on the last episode of fresh prince just the same ol same ol i dont expect the white sox to be a serious bidder for the top free agents -- though -- watch how they end up with another slow lumbering power hitter who bats south of .230 and ks over 150 times

hopefully viciedo isnt the starting lf come opening day or else it will have been a sad off season for rick hahn

Vmart will get atleast a 4yr deal at 60million. If he only wants 2, the Tigers will overpay to have him back.

The Sox will have to outbid the Tigers, and if they do, it may be the death blow to the Tigers.

thats one upside to signing vmart besides protecting abreu you get to weaken a division rival but i dont know man he getting up there in age

hes defintely looking for long term security if theres no market for him hes better off just staying with detroit all things considering

Yea, which is why Cleveland is going to try to poach him too. I hope Dombrowski gives him 60 mill over 3 years. We gotta keep him.

Him batting behind Abreau would be potent add in Garcia,I would hate to see it.

he will turn 36 so its not like hes getting any better and thats the thing that scares me he had damn near career highs in every category and the funny thing about career highs is that due to being the career high they only happen once and i highly doubt that after his age 23 to age 34 seasons of playing baseball and then having his career year at 35 that he will be able to actually TOP that in his age 36 season i think its all downhill from here on out lol

thats why a two year deal with a club option would be goat but somebody gonna overpay they always do

True but look at Big Papi in Boston. He is still a good hitter at 39. For the Tigers, he KEEPS us dangerous, For the Sox, it MAKES you Dangerous, For Cleveland it turns them into a legit threat.

Vmart is 1 of the best hitters from BOTH sides in the mlb, and he is a disciplined batter, really patient, add in US Cellular field for the majority of his at bats, White Sox win this division by 7 games.

The Cubs, already the leader in free agency after landing marquee manager Joe Maddon for a $25 million, five-year deal, are going to target top free-agent catcher Russell Martin, sources connected to the team said.

The Cubs, expected to be a big player in the market with hopes of contending as they blend in their impressive stash of top positional prospects, surely appreciate Martin's superb performance for the Pirates this past year, when he was one of the few players in baseball with a .400-plus on-base percentage, and also caught and threw with the best in the game behind the plate.

that's Lester and Martin as the top 2 targets which is exactly what I wanted.Hope it happens

WHOA.....Whoa I was wit you until this part.I think the indians and white sox will compete for the al central next year but until they revamp that bullpen white sox aint winning nothin by that many games

The division will suck this year, especially if Sox get Vmart. Take Vmart away from us, Miggy is unprotected, outside of any real offensive additions, we become a 78-80 win team. Cleveland will prolly remain the same, about 82 wins. Chicago adds Vmart with Abreau, and a healthy Avasail , they win around 90 games. Vmart is just that productive, and Abreau getting him as a protector takes you guys up. KC let Butler go, Aoki go, Shields go, they will win around 80-83 games.

The value of Martinez coupled with Abreau and Garcia rivals Miggy ,JD, and Vmart, and the Sox are a better batting team 6-9, with a hitter friendly park.

I would hate to see Victor go anywhere, let alone a division foe, but the man is a top 10 hitter, and will continue for another few years. Getting Vmart weakens us, and strengthens your team.

I know your bullpen stunk, but it was not on Tiger level stank.

Hoping we pay Vmart, and he stays.

Dallas K won a gold glove for the squad. 1st pitcher in team history.

Danks and Quintana

Shout out to Christian Yelich earning a Gold Glove.

the Rockies made a qualifying offer to cuddyer which is very surprising

it does give them the flexibility to deal cargo

if that isnt it then i have no clue what they are doing
