QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Dec 6, 2017 -> 12:42 PM) Was this in reference to my post? It is his new shtick.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Dec 6, 2017 -> 12:01 PM) Abreu is not going to sign a 2 year deal when he hits free agency if he's still producing. So if you think you might want him around in 2020 & 2021, either extend him now through his age 34 season or be prepared to lock him up until he's 36 and when money becomes more constrained. If he is still hitting like this in two years, he will get 3 to 5 years on the open market for sure.

QUOTE (WBWSF @ Dec 6, 2017 -> 07:39 AM) 1) Hahn trades both Garcia and Abreu. 2) Hahn then announces that he will bring back Adam Laroche and Jeff Keppinger and they will bat in the middle of the order for 2018. 2016 called, they want their shtick back.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Dec 6, 2017 -> 09:59 AM) The deal would start now. Not when he is 33. In fact a 3 year deal would END when he is 33.

I would go out on a limb and say that the biggest free agent contract the White Sox hand out this off season has already been signed.

QUOTE (steveno89 @ Dec 6, 2017 -> 09:54 AM) I think the front office is smart enough to realize paying retail for a mid 30's first baseman is not a great idea. TBH, I don't worry about a skill set like Abreu's as much as I do one who is built on defense and/or speed. Guys who profile like Abreu are better bets to keep on hitting. I put him more into the JD Martinez/Melky camp.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Dec 6, 2017 -> 09:48 AM) He was definitely a non-tender candidate. Many did want exactly that to happen. Obviously not many of those people will fess up to that now, but they know who they are. Just for laughs... http://www.soxtalk.com/forums/index.php?s=...t&p=3453142

QUOTE (FT35 @ Dec 5, 2017 -> 07:01 PM) Lol! Probably...but still! He was a cut candidate imo... He was definitely a non-tender candidate. Many did want exactly that to happen. Obviously not many of those people will fess up to that now, but they know who they are.

QUOTE (Dam8610 @ Dec 6, 2017 -> 02:04 AM) Phillies signed Gutierrez Dang. Well, I guess it was a long shot at best anyway.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Dec 6, 2017 -> 09:41 AM) Barring any major changes, I find that very unlikely. He seems to express his desire to stay in Chicago for life every time he's interviewed. I think if we put a decent 3 to 5 year deal in front of him, he would sign it. Everything you hear is how much he likes it here, and how much he is liked here. Even if his bat fades at the end of a deal, his money wouldn't cripple the team where they would be in the rebuild and overall salary structure. Plus even if he does fade, he is still like having another coach on the bench and the kids seem to love him.

Jim Callis‏Verified account @jimcallisMLB 2h2 hours ago Jim Callis Retweeted DJ No because I knew Beer was polarizing after another rough summer with @USABaseballCNT. If you like him, you look at the Clemson number and believe the power plays. If you don't, you wonder how much he'll hit with wood. Offers little beyond the bat. @MLBDraft
