    2023 White Sox Salary / Transaction Tracker

    Just looking at the 40 man, if you remove all the folks gone after this trade deadline/year (Including declining the options on Kelly and Lynn), you're at 31. With even minimal clearing of guys like Haseley, Frazier, Padilla, and Peralta, you're at 27.  Then there's failed prospects like Sheets, Romy Gonzalez, and Carlos Perez (sorry, I like him too but he can't catch) you might be below 25.  Sox have a lot of warm bodies to acquire just to run a team out, let alone build a contender. 

    So do you take multiple rule 5 guys?  If you get a reliever or two and have a starting pitcher tryout camp?  UGGGGG but what have you got to lose especially if one hits as a major league average guy for a couple years.

    Today is the deadline for signing draftees and the Sox signed everyone!  That is a start.  By my rough count the Sox went over their pool by about 446k which is just below the 5% line penalty.  Jerry et al pay a 75% tax on that.  If you go over the 5%, you lose a first rounder.  So since I give them crap for a lot of things, I suppose it is only fair to give them credit for spending.  Time will tell if it was well spent.  I did note only one 10k signing.  Everyone else in rounds 11-20 were at least the 150k "max" without counting against your pool. A lot less punted picks which should give better depth and the chance for a wild card.    

    Sorry Harold, I had done my cyphering before seeing your post.
