Yep. Unless there are provisions in the contract that state otherwise, Benintendi’s contract would be paid out on the same timeline throughout the end of next season if he was DFA’ed. It’s not like the entirety of the remaining money on his deal would have to be paid to him immediately once he made it through waivers and was released. Jerry just doesn’t want to admit the mistake that he let Hahn/Kenny make, and that he signed off on.

I wasn’t arguing for Sosa to start over Meidroth at 2B. My post was about Antonacci. I think the Sox should have tried converting Sosa to LF and sent Benintendi to the glue factory.

Meidroth hasn’t done much in almost 600 plate appearances to prove he should be a starting major league 2B. Perhaps the move should be for Antonacci to start at 2B and Meidroth move to backup infielder?

That’s an offensive explosion for a Sox hitter. 🤣

Seems like Getz dumped him mostly for the roster spot for Antonacci.

Yep, just like with Acuna…

I updated my previous post. He’s still small though.

This Rich guy probably never makes the majors. Even with Sosa’s lack of any patience at the plate, he has more upside than Rich. A smart team would have eaten Benintendi’s contract, converted Sosa to LF, and played him primarily in LF and at DH.

And the joke is on White Sox fans.

The entire lineup has been, and Getz builds the lineup.

Yet another example of a poor scouting job of a hitter by the Sox.

Fun. Another tiny prospect. Hasn’t worked and doesn’t work. But that won’t stop Getz’s obsession with little grinders. EDIT: Baseball Cube has him listed at 5’10”, 175 so that’s a bit more promising. https://www.thebaseballcube.com/content/player/362076/

Sandlin, yes. We’ll have to see if he was worth taking on Hicks and $16 million. Right now, Hicks looks like an overpaid reliever, even with Boston chipping in $8 million.

The Sox signed Dominguez for the very purpose of trading him if he pitches well. The last few years have shown that good closers have a lot of value at the trade deadline.

Exactly. @vilehoopster seems to think that a free agent can’t be signed until a player is traded away to free up money. That’s not how real organizations that aren’t a joke function.

You are presenting things that haven’t even happened yet, and may not ever happen. You’re only presenting made-up guesses of the future because when all facts are considered, your argument falls apart. If Acuna keeps hitting like he has been, he’ll be on the bench.

I could live with the defensive lapses as he has played more infield in his career and is still learning CF. But if he can’t hit better than he has thus far with the Mets and Sox, he’s a utility guy at best like a Leury Garcia.

Famgraphs says Cannon still has one option remaining, if it’s up-to-date, but I’m not sure. I’m assuming they put him on the IL regardless.

Well, it’s still early but it’s looking like they won this trade.

Stop looking at two year old scouting reports and accepting the player the other team obviously wants to dump.

Acuna still swinging that wet newspaper…

Benintendi walks. Tie game.

Right hip irritation for Cannon. Also known as “loser’s limp.”

Oh, Colson…

Acuna doing it too. Looks like they are cyclists that don’t want to get hit by a car.
