fathom Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 Is this in regards to what Bruce reported today? I saw where he said the budget is 30 million. Only issue is that is including Lynn and Eaton, so they would only have 15 million to spend if correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flash Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 Current '21 estimate = $118M. I'd trade for Darvish @ $19M (guessing would require Cease) I'd sign Hendriks @$13M I know that is slightly over $30M but there is a fudge factor re: Cease salary offset and assumption Hendrick might be slightly less expensive. Total '21 payroll @ $140M and start printing PO tickets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, and it would only be one of them, not both.....as both guys would cost 10-11M each on a 1 year deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Y2Jimmy0 Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 The White Sox are 100% in on Hendriks. I’m expecting payroll to be around $140 million. Something like Hendriks, Quintana, Brad Miller and some minor league deals sounds about right 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With 15m left, yeah they are in a bind cause 13 for Hendriks means they only have 2m left for camp fodder or like a backup C. Even if they are at 10-11 for Hendriks as I think one of the foodies was suggesting that would still leave only like 4-5 left for another SP and nothing for a LH bat even if Hendriks accepted that which I doubt. Meanwhile the longer we wait the more likely someone swoops in to take Hendriks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmags Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 After reviewing stuff again...Hendriks is really good. My preference that I don't think happens would be Hendriks + Paxton. I think Hendriks (13M) + Paxton (15M) puts you at 28 mill, and you can use money on maybe a flyer on Roenis Elias for bullpen help (I like that he ditched his sinker and has a nice looking Curve + FB, which was lower in velo last year but may be due to weird year). That said, non-Hendriks 30 mill I think I'd go: McGee 4M Paxton 15M LaStella 7M Kahnle 4M If sox go Hendriks/Q, I'd really hope they try for mcgee.

The sox are at about 114 mill. I really do not expect them to be less than last year, so I think expecting 140 mill and ~26 mill is more accurate with Hendriks (13M)+Q(11-12M) more accurate to be wrapped up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOFHurt35 Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 I still don't get the cry for another SP. Kopech and Cease are getting the ball out of the gate. Lopez is still in the plans also. A full ST at the ML camp for Stiever can only help his progression also. Focus on landing the big bullpen piece with the rest of the $$$.

Because we remember last year, and Kopech cannot handle a full starter load. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kopech is absolutely starting in the minors. The innings limit makes it tough to start him in majors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
