southsider2k5 Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 15 minutes ago, AJ'S Cousin said: don't worry, you'll see the Met's or some other idiot team pony up 100 million. There's a sucker born every minute. The Met's new owner wants to make a BIG splash. Dodgers, Padres, Yanks and Red Sox and maybe even the Angels will spend that much. Look at how stupid the Cubs were bidding against themselves for Heyward. Hendricks is a bargain at 2 years 40 million in todays climate. Nobody has pulled the big trigger because nobody knows if fans will be in the stands to buy those $9/$10 beers and $8 hotdogs. As soon as we are vaccinated and can spend money, then you'll see the contracts get doled out. Maybe what would be a $100 million contract becomes 50 million because of no fans. Or a prorated contract for this year and then escalates for 2022 and forward. Think of it this way, 2021 15 million, 2022 30 million and so on. 15 million with no fans is like paying out 25 or 30 with fans. By the beginning of Spring Training we'll know more No. Hell no. And I believe you would get your ass kicked for that. And just to be clear, it ain't happenin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YourWhatHurts Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 Years 3 and 4 of a Hendriks deal are likely going to be gas can years IMO. Hard pass. Take that Mets money, Liam (if they are offering it). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJ'S Cousin Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 Saw this this morning on YardBarker also. Went to MLB Trade Rumors but no mention. Not sure if a relationship with La Russa is enough to get him over to us but who knows, stranger things have happened. If this DOES HAPPEN, it would be great, then the only MAJOR HOLE I see is who's our #4 or #5 starters. Cease, Kopech and Lopez are currently our choices. Don't believe Crochet would be stretched out enough until maybe after the ALL STAR break, if ne exists this year. Kopech has to get his head straightened out after what happened in his marriage, Cease may just need more time and who knows which Lopez shows up. Q or Ordorizzi or Musgrove wouln't hurt. DH can be filled by Collins or Vaughn or by some miracle Brantley or even Schwarber LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 (edited) During the winter of 2013-2014, Hendriks was one of those guys that went for a ride with waiver claims. He was claimed 3 times, including once by the Cubs. Nice job by him to go from filler who is being passed around, to getting paid.

Starting to warm to the idea of Schwarber which at first I was dead set against. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will offer what they deem is fair and if it requires extensive negotiations, that’s when they lose ground. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sometimes actually do wonder if they are actually even trying with some of these big names. They just never seem to want to play in the big end of the pool. And the one time they actually did, the person they were offering to went somewhere else for less money. (Although Wheeler really wasn't even in the deep end, really) The White Sox are such a bush league franchise.
