    My 1st thought was also the A's.  
    
397.5especially if Bass remains injury-proneSTAR::YANKOWSKASOrioles in 1991Thu Oct 25 1990 16:564

397.10EARRTH::BROOKSStraight - no chaser ...Thu Oct 25 1990 19:109
    He'll want to stay close to home, (Yanks ? Nah .....) and play for a
    contender - in the AL. 
    
    Baltimore, Califorina, Detroit or the WhiteSox in that order ...
    
    Now my next question is :
    
    
    Which team will Joe Morgan manage next ?
397.11Dewey will go to Cali... probably angels BPOV06::ROBINSONI wanna fly jetsThu Oct 25 1990 20:026

    Evans won't go to Japan and I'm not sure where else he may go.  His
    family is a very large priority to him and his two oldest children have
    been chronically ill for most of their lives.  At least one of them has
    Elephant Man's disease.  A major attraction of the Boston area for
    Evans, and a reason why he lives here year round, is the outstanding
    medical care in the Boston area and the relationship the family has
    built up with the physicians taking care of his children.
    
    If he goes anywhere, it won't be far away and it certainly won't be
    Japan.

397.14Orioles or Tigers then ....LUNER::BROOKSStraight - no chaser ...Fri Oct 26 1990 09:555
    re .13
    
    Agreed. That's why I think Baltimore will have the best shot at Evans.
    California should be the front runner, but the proximity to his family
    is a big factor. 
397.15wouldn't mind Dewey on the O's, but...STAR::YANKOWSKASPaul YankowskasFri Oct 26 1990 09:5913
    re Doc:
    
    I think Evans would be an asset to the O's, but two reasons I think it
    not very likely to happen:
    
    	O's really didn't go into the free agent market last year, and have
    	shown no indications that they will do so this year.
    
    	Big glut of OF/1B/DH types (although Dewey, even at this stage of
        his career, is still more productive than many of them).

397.16Cleveland?MILPND::VLASAKFlatliners for Mass...YES on #3Fri Oct 26 1990 10:106
    There was talk on TV about him possibly going to Cleveland.
    
    Who do they have for DH now?
    
    Bob V.
    
397.17REFINE::ASHESilicon chip inside her head is set to overloadFri Oct 26 1990 13:565
    Won't be Detroit unless there's a trade first.  I think there's a
    chance Trammell may go to DH with Fryman becoming the SS.
    
    Toledo (Detroit-AAA) could use him, but I think he may show up
    in Oakland or Baltimore.
397.18It would be a bad move for the O'sWORDY::NAZZAROEight lbs of stupid in a 5 lb bagFri Oct 26 1990 16:4520
    Does someone in here honestly think Evans will be more productive
    than Sam Horn nexted season?  Or Joe Orsulak?  Or Randy Milligan?
    (Those are the three people I see as potential Oriole DHs in 1991.)
    
    Evans will be 39 1/2 in April.  He can't bend over to field a grounder,
    so he HAS to DH.  He hit .249 with 13 HR and 63 RBI in 123 gamesd and
    445 AB in 1990.  Here's how he compares to Horn, Orsulak, and Milligan:
    
    		 G   AB   HITS  HR   RBI   AVE
    Evans	123  445  111   13   63   .249
    Horn         79  246   61   14   45   .248
    Orsulak     124  413  111   11   57   .269
    Milligan    109  362   96   20   60   .265
    
    Each of the three Orioles is at least ten years younger, and was more
    productive with fewer at bats.  Taking up a roster spot with Evans
    would only hinder the development of a young player like Horn, Sqgui,
    or Gomez.

    Last night's Lawrence Eagle-Tribune reported that Dwight Evans will
    likely sign with the Chicago White Sox.

397.22Don't know if Evans feels the same.ELWOOD::BERNARDThu Nov 01 1990 17:0315
    Some one asked will they share a cab?
    
      I know that Fisk thinks very highly of Evans and if anyone caught the
    last game of the regualar series you might have seen the two of them
    in a" hug around the neck good-bye" in the last inning of the game. 
    Fisk told me he hoped that some one had a picture of it, he had a lot of 
    nice things to say about Evans, including how much respect he has for
    the way Evans plays even though he has the burden of his kids being
    very sick. Said the same about Stanley. Fisk is a class act and I think
    he'd love to have Evans on the White Sox.
        If anyone did get a photo of the two of them, let me know. No
    telling what he might offer for a copy of it.
