White Sox could use him.
Arthur
YES. This is exactly the option the sox could use. Could be similar to the Alexei Deal before 2008. Less defense but the contact is a big factor. Jose Abreu could give him a call and talk to him about coming here. Lots of Cuban history in Chicago.

Even with their internal solutions at 2B, I wonder if the Yankees would have interest.
hooligan
I doubt it, with his defensive downside, he’s too similar to Refsnyder to be worth the investment.

If only the yankees didn’t avoid Cuban players like the plague #narratives

Doubt it John…he’ll sign for every penny he can get.
Given that your paying for a skill set is based on a keen eye that lend to not striking out ,putting the ball in play, not particularly fast, no significant power, and average at best defensive skills, the internal options the Yanks have grade out as much better options don’t you think?

I wonder if this news could change the Zobrist market.
TheMichigan
I doubt it since he won’t be ready before opening day
brettfletchall02
The Royals need a 2nd basemen there probably gonna give up zobrist if they can get this kid which i would want this kid more than zobrist
JPZ7
Its the Nationals or Royals after this guy. Nats don’t trust Espinosa as much and want a 2B. Perfect for DC
Matt Galvin
Marlins?
hooligan
Not with Dee Gordon already in the fold.
jbravo17
So, basically he plays for the Dodgers.
jonathanh1020
Braves will trade for him soon
moe 3
Yes but the Dodgers will still pay him
tim815
But the Marlins will throw in a Competitive Balance Pick for the sport of it.
WisBrave 2
Well there goes Albies then, it’s not like Braves need young position players anyways.
formerlyz
They’ll probably be dumping some salary as well…
MikeTroutForMayor
Lets go Eppler
TJECK109
Everyone is missing the obvious…. Dodgers. They are the Ellis island of MLB
jasoneye
Maybe the M’s should consider moving Cano to first base next season or the season after?
archhalo44
Angels need a 2B
jabmets
Mets
rocky7
They’re not that stupid. This is the kind of guy the Dodgers live for. They can just pile his salary on top of the 50 Million they’re paying players not to play for the Dodgers.
hooligan
I see White Sox, Diamondbacks, Angels, Brewers, Pirates, Tigers, Royals, Padres, and Phillies as the players for him.
batman
Definitely not the Pirates unfortunately
brettfletchall02
i see
white sox
Angels
brewers
padres
Royals
definitely the Royals because the Royals are a contact team that puts the ball in play so he fits the Royals play style .
J32
Sounds like he could have Jason Kipnis like production with far less K’s. Kipnis this year had about below average to average speed/power with solid average/OBP. Left handed bat as well.
forum199
I would love for the Angels to take a flier on him but given his delayed arrival, he’ll more likely draw interest from a team not in immediate need of an upgrade or on a longer timetable to contention.
brettfletchall02
Sounds like a Royals fit player, good contact very few strikeouts seems like a very good player, definitely fits the Royals Play style.
