    Dodgers & Yankees were the other two teams I was thinking of, but don’t see what starting pitchers they have that would also be expendable.
  2. Chicago White Sox
    Good call, but don’t see them having any interest in Heuer. Maybe Seattle? Marco Gonzalez is probably more available than most of the other rumored names.
  3. Chicago White Sox
    ?...no idea what team he is referring to. Feels like we always trade with Texas, but they don’t have anyone left that fills the bill.
  4. Chicago White Sox
    Exactly. Lucas will potentially be leaving money on the table by agreeing to an extension, but he locks in a sizable guarantee to protect himself in the event of injury and would still hit free agency at 31 with a five year deal. I think it’s something he would go for, but obviously there is a trade-off there and if healthy he’s probably not maximizing his earnings.
  5. Chicago White Sox
    I’d be ok with moving Heuer, but I struggle with what team would take him back as an important piece of a trade. The Reds potentially?
  6. Chicago White Sox
    Good point.
  7. Chicago White Sox
    So why do any of these pitchers expect below market extensions if the offers are so bad? ?
  8. Chicago White Sox
    If we wants to maximize his earnings, then he won’t sign an extension. If he wants to lock in some guaranteed money because of the risk of injury then he’ll take less than market. That’s how these things work. I’m sure no-one would say Nola’s deal was bad if he ended up getting and missing time.
  9. Chicago White Sox
    Lucas Giolito isn’t a free agent.
  10. Chicago White Sox
    This is not true.
  11. Chicago White Sox
    Based on what?
  12. Chicago White Sox
    Why are you using a 3B as comp for a SP? That is not how these things work. Pitchers are naturally far more risky and that’s factored into the price of an extension, hence why the Nola deal plus some markup makes the most sense.
  13. Chicago White Sox
    Isn’t 40 inning jumps the status quo? I won’t pretend to understand how COVID will impact things, but if it impacts Cease it will likely impact most pitchers to some extent. A deep bullpen plus having extra starters in Kopech, Lopez, and Stiever will be critical.
  14. Chicago White Sox
    In what world does a pitcher get paid market rates for signing an extension three years prior to free agency?
  15. Chicago White Sox
    You don’t get market value when you sign an extension three years prior to free agency. And as I showed you before, the best comp is Nola’s 5/$61M extension. Lucas getting 5/$75M would represent a 23% increase. It’s incredibly unlikely he’d get more than $75M over five years.
  16. Chicago White Sox
    And they will be adding another decent starter.
  17. Chicago White Sox
    I would wager large sums of money that the Sox are still trying to extend Giolito & Lynn after this move. If it weren’t for COVID, I’d expect the Sox to be closer to $160M next year rather than the rumored $135M to $140M.
  18. Chicago White Sox
    Why wouldn’t Cease? Just cause the shortened season?
  19. Chicago White Sox
    That’s too rich. I think he ultimately agrees to something around 5/$75M.
  20. Chicago White Sox
    I didn’t think club options counted as guaranteed years. Technically I think it should be an $18M AAV, but this contract is basically unprecedented so who the fuck knows.
  21. Chicago White Sox
    Depends on how you view the 4th year, but realistically this is 4 year deal with an AAV of $13.5M. But it is the biggest contract given out this offseason which shows pathetic things have been moving.
  22. Chicago White Sox
    I like the way you think Pal!
  23. Chicago White Sox
    I don’t think they will sign a DH only guy, it will be someone with some defensive versatility.
  24. Chicago White Sox
    You talking about Kopech?
  25. Chicago White Sox
    Our playoff bullpen should be nasty as fuck, especially if you assume Kopech gets moved there come October: CL: Hendriks SU: Bummer* SU: Kopech SU: Crochet* MR: Marshall MR: Heuer MR: Fry* MR: Foster MR: Lopez/Burdi/Johnson
