SoCalChiSox Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 Now that the number is fixed, does this mean he can be traded now? Open up that 2m to help pay for something else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Open up that 2m to help pay for something else. He could have been traded before this, but if a team is worried about the money a lot, having the money firmed up can help. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What will be interesting is they already have some mechanical tweaks in mind, so if they can rebuild him at all, 2 million is nothing if they can get him anywhere close to his potential. This year is probably his make or break year, as his arb price will go up again next year. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chitownsportsfan Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 Might as well light 2.1 million on fire. Whatever. I'd have preferred to just non tender him. The chances he turns into anything more than a shitty mopup guy are about 1/100. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too young to get paid what they are worth, or back roster filler material. There are pretty much zero players out there who you can go out and sign on the market for $2 million who you expect a lot out of. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turnin' two Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 I like having him. It is worth it to have work with Katz to see if there is anything there. And even if it doesn't get him to what we all hoped he could be, it is worth trying him out as a reliever, and worst case scenario as a guy to just eat up junk innings. But I still have hope for him. But I can be a blind optimist. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thxfrthmmrs Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 You guys are underselling Reylo, if you take away his 2020 season and his bad starts from 2019, he’s actually been pretty good. 1 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could say that about any shitty pitcher. That being said, Lopez's peripherals have always been shitty since he's been in a Sox uni, so it's no surprise he regressed hard in 2019.

roto Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 I assume that no settlement on Giolito means they are working on a longer contract. Good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good Or the other side is that Gio just said something about not undervaluing himself in the Redditt talk, so maybe those talks aren't going very well.
