SoCalChiSox Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 8/90 would be great. That takes him to like 30-31. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soxnfins Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 Would think if Robert signs, Moncada would be next IMO.... But Moncada seems like a money guy for sure.... maybe an extension to buy out 1 year, but 2 or 3? ehhhh I don't think so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmags Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 This would make me a happy boy. Gonna make it so sweet to have him and betts locked up for the next decade. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daggins Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 I would wait on Robert, even at the cost of some millions. He has probably the most variance of outcomes of our high-end prospects. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Look at Ray Ray Run Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 With this being even reported, I feel pretty good about it happening. 8 years, 90 million should be nice enough to get it done. Huge investment in a guy whose never played in the big leagues, but talk about an upside. If Robert is really good, he's worth 60+ million in arb so they're buying out 2 years at 15 million a piece to buy out the arb years. Seems fair.

Sox just will have to pony up for him in order to convince him. He's probably the most likely of anyone to leave after his arb years.

Right now, with a projected wRC+ of 112 (12% better than the league) Robert projects out next year to be a 3 WAR player in 150 games. If he hit below league average and his defense is as good as advertised he's a 3 WAR player as a below average hitter in the big leagues. That's the safest floor of any of their prospects. The more tools, the safer the prospect. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flavum Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 (edited) Robert on March 26, Madrigal around April 16...that would be nice. Edited December 23, 2019 by flavum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't want to sell this point too much, but Moncada is the only guy who has publicly said he'd like to sign on and stay with the organization for his entire career.

I read that one, but money does different things to different people. I believe he's the only one aside from Abreu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Look at Ray Ray Run Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 The fact that hes willing to have these discussions at all make me believe it's very possible. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I appreciated what they did for my friend and I'd like to do the same thing as him. I agree that actions speak louder than words but when asked how he felt about the white sox taking care of abreu, he didn't have to answer that he loved it and would like to do the same. He could have merely supported abreu but instead commented in the impact it had on his desires to remain with the organization. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KopechThrowsHeat Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 Hopefully this future sox report is right. They have been miserable this offseason 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
