This is a bit of a surprise. The Brewers had nothing to lose by keeping him. Weird..

Agree, he’s still pretty young and has a chance to reboot in the hopes of becoming the player he was projected to be.

Good investment by Milwaukee. There is still potential there

Except it was the White Sox that claimed him from the Brewers.

Oakland currently has zero options in RF or CF, why would they sleep on this guy? So they could keep Brett Eibner? This is a huge fail by Beane, these moves are his bread and butter. Liriano’s still an intriguing player, he floor still is still a 4th OF type.

Actually no, his floor is a AAAA guy

Just so everyone knows, the problem with Liriano is that he’s out of minor league options. Which means now the Sox have to either carry him on their Major League roster or put him back on waivers. This is a fairly decent claim tho. Liriano never really got a shot with the Padres or Brewers. There’s essentially no risk here for the Sox.

Chances are pretty good that Liriano will be in another organization by opening day 2017. He’s exactly the sort of guy who could see multiple waiver claims over the course of the offseason.

It’s not like the White Sox have a plethora of MLB ready OF’s in their minor league system anyway so Rymer Liriano’s place on the 40-man roster is worth the gamble. The White Sox most highly rated OF prospects are at least two years away from making their MLB debuts and won’t require a precious roster spot anytime soon.
If Jerry Reinsdorf actually opens his wallet to sign a premium free agent or two this off-season there are plenty of other candidates on the reserve roster who can be launched to make room for them.

According to RR, Liriano is projected to make the Sox bench. That’s not even factoring in the likely non-tender of Avi Garcia (possibly moving Melky to DH, at least I’ve heard). Honestly, considering the only other options available are JB Shuck (also a probable NTC) and Coats- Liriano has an outstanding chance to make the White Sox OD roster. I hope it works out. He’s one of my favorites in the league- he’s a blast to watch play.

This couldn’t have been said any better.

Goodbye Garcia

Sounds more and more like Avi is going to be paired with Sale, Robertson or Quintana.
