I don't see how we could afford Cruz next year and extend/resign Lynn for $18M+. I don’t think anyone is giving Cruz more than one year.

If the Sox have that money to spend, they should spend it on pitching. What the Sox should do and what they do are two different things, you know this.

If the Sox have that money to spend, they should spend it on pitching. Unless they are confident they can acquire a cheap SP via trade. I doubt it too, just trying to think of how going out and spending $10+ on Cruz would logically make sense with obvious holes still on this roster.

Cruz - Archer Elite lineup + elite bullpen + strong 1-2-3 in the rotation. The lineup and bullpen can cover up any mistakes / growing pains coming from the 4-5 spot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smellysox Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 7 minutes ago, Chicago White Sox said: Those are good questions.  Could be what carbon is suggesting and they plan on dealing Vaughn++ for Burnes.  Or perhaps Jerry is a little more optimistic about potential fan attendance and is willing to spend a little more to fit Cruz into equation.  Even way, he’d be a massive addition for the 2021 season. This could also be one of Tony's guys too. He talked Jerry into it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruz + Archer easily, and that's why Cruz will likely get $14M and Archer will get $5M plus a couple mil incentives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
