It will take a lot more than you. @Chicago White Sox tried it in the OP to start the game thread. Big fail on that one . Nice effort though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gogosox1959 Posted April 24, 2022 Author Share Posted April 24, 2022 This will go down as the biggest agent/player miscalculation of all time. First he turns a long term deal with Mets for about $100mm then turns down QO of $18.4mm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 Well, he should be the most motivated player in baseball next season… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jermaine Dye and AJ and Carl Everett and Pods and Iguchi weren't in high demand when the Sox picked them up either. That's how you can get excess value rather than overpaying. Jenks? Contreras? 2021 Rodon? Completely given up on by most of MLB front offices... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texsox Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 https://nypost.com/2022/04/24/michael-conforto-to-have-season-ending-shoulder-surgery/ He wouldn't have gotten hurt with the Sox. Garcia would have been playing ahead of him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Sacamano Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 So he likely waits until the offseason to sign with someone right? Or does a team draw up a contract similar to some TJ free agent pitchers where they get a 2 year deal with the first year obviously being lost due to injury (signed after draft of course so no loss of draft pick) where they can let him rehab for the rest of the year with an organization?

Well, that's what teams have done with guys like Garrett Richards, but it hasn't exactly worked out according to plan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if anything teams will wait for the draft to pass, and then engage his camp on something long term, with a bit of cash this year as an enticement.

JoeCredeYes Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 Remember when we coulda just signed Joc Pederson for $6M-$7M in both of the previous 2 off-season's and avoided this whole mess? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
