Good morning. Here’s the (brief) rundown:
- TONIGHT: The White Sox and Royals open their last series of the season with a battle of 9-12 starters.
- AROUND THE LEAGUE: The Red Sox fire Dave Dombrowski, the Houston Astros set records, and Milwaukee leaps over Arizona for the first team out.
Listen below:
Over the last couple days there have been talks about JD Martinez to the White Sox. Any thoughts?
I was kinda down on the idea when the Sox were attached to Nelson Cruz last offseason, and look what he’s doing, so I feel like I should learn from that.
Good point, I was too. Their stats are very similar and JD is 7 years younger.
JD would be a great addition. I think with Dombrowski being gone makes it almost certain he will opt out. He sure would look good hitting between Moncada and Eloy.
I would be for it too, but it would be interesting to see what that OF DH situation ends up looking like. Eloy, JD and a rookie CF in the outfield at the same time would be interesting.
Adding a LH bat that could play both right and left would help. JD and Joc Pederson would suddenly make the outfield/DH a strength.
Hits the ball hard and walks. What’s not to like?
