Look at Ray Ray Run Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 This is something that entertains me every off season and I like seeing how accurately salaries can be predicted. Fans the past few years have over valued the market. Let's see how accurate everyone can be. Here is a list of the top 2020 free agents. Here are the top 25: Cole - 7 years, 250 million Rendon - 8 years, 255 million Stras - 6 years, 220 million Bumgarner - 6 years, 175 million Chapman - 4 years 60 million JD Martinez - 4 years, 90 million Ryu - 4 years, 85 million Donaldson - 3 years, 65 million Wheeler - 5 years, 125 million Ozuna - 4 years, 85 million Grandal - 4 years, 70 million Odorizzi - 4 years, 60 million Hamels - 4 years, 65 million Didi - 5 years, 68 million Keuchel - 3 years, 50 million Castellanos - 5 years, 80 million Miley - 2 years, 25 million Encarnacion - 1 year, 19 million Moustakas - 2 years, 38 million Puig - 3 years, 45 million Will Smith - 4 years, 48 million Will Harris - 3 years, 30 million Betances - 2 years, 16 million Roark - 1 year, 13 million Pineda 1 year, 11 million Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fewer and fewer guys are getting multi year agreements. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago White Sox Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 No way Encarnacion is getting 1/$19M when Nelson Cruz signed a 2/$26M deal last offseason and the DH market is even more team friendly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
he gone. Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 a tough project no doubt. I have no clue on most of these, but i think cole will get his 8 years. Cole - 8years, 275 million Rendon - 8 years, 250 million Stras - 6 years, 180 million Bumgarner - 3 years, 70 million, option/buyout year 4 Chapman - 4 years 70 million JD Martinez - resigns with BoSox Ryu - 3 years, 75 million Donaldson - 3 years, 65 million Wheeler - 5 years, 90 million Ozuna - 3 years, 54 million, option Grandal - 4 years, 70 million Odorizzi - 4 years, 60 million Hamels - 2 years, 25 million Didi - 6 years, 75 million Keuchel - 2 years, 30 million Castellanos - 4 years, 65 million Miley - 3 years, 33 million Encarnacion - 1 year, 10 million Moustakas - 3 years, 33 million Puig - 3 years, 39 million Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this is realistic and about what will happen. Now here's some fun.... Let Abreu walk, save his 30 million on 2 years and use that money (with extra) to go after Donaldson for 1B..

chetkincaid Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 The White Sox will end up with Puig, Encarnacion (way cheaper than $19mil), Will Harris and Quintana when that team on the north side declines his option after signing a SP we want. 81-81 and 3rd in the AL Central. I'll believe this until Jerry Reinsdorf proves me wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fewer and fewer guys are getting multi year agreements. Smart move. Tons of players currently on contracts that are already ugly for teams, and will last for several more years (Miggy and Pujols come to mind). I don't know if teams will be wise enough to stay away, but 35 year old Bumgarner is not going to be worth $29 million. The FA market is terrifying for this reason.

Perfect Vision Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 If those prices are anywhere near correct -- and I think that they could be -- I could see the Sox focusing almost exclusively on the bats and trying to sign both JDM and Grandal (and maybe Puig too), and picking up one of the lesser starting pitchers on a 1 year deal. I have my doubts that they would be willing to give any starting pitcher a contract over $100 mil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You want a lineup of 8 right handeded hitters and Moncada? I would bet any amount of money that doesn’t happen. There is a zero percent chance.

But there's definitely a chance they don't want him back. Would Theo swallow his pride and trade him back to the Sox? Or does that stir up too much bs for him? Quintana straight up for Jonathan Stiever. Who says no? For the OP - most of the prices seem about right. I thought Puig's was actually too high. I'm going to be annoyed if the Sox sign Puig.

I think the Cubs could trade him, but probably not to the Sox all else being equal. As for your proposed price, there is no reason to trade a top 10 prospect for one year of Quintana when we’re sitting on significant financial flexibility and there is a deep pitching market. We should be leveraging free agency to fill our pitching needs and saving our trade chips for RF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you could address both in FA, do it (JDM, Puig, Castellanos) Only blockbuster RF I'd target is Betts and Haniger if he's being sold low Still reluctant to totally count out Adolfo, Rutherford, and Walker in 2021-ish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
