I think Pollock gets somewhere in the ballpark of what Cain got. Have to think minimum 4/65.

Yup, that's a good measure.

For that contract, I unfortunately do not want Pollock here on the White Sox. As great as he is, there is injury risk to the maximum and age downside associated with that.

In the 3 years prior to reaching free agency, Cain put up 12.6 fWAR. If Pollock doesn't get hurt again this year, he'll have put up something like 6.5. He still missed a month and a half of the season. Cain put up 4.3 fWAR with the Royals in 2017 the year before hitting FA, Pollock is on pace for something like 3-3.5. If they get the same contract, it's because the contract drought that happened last offseason has totally ended, because those are no where near comparable records.

Maybe Fowler would have been a better comp, but he also go 5/80.
