He will be making 42 million in 2023 and 2024 combined, with a 2025 club option for 25 million. It's not a crazy take from fathom.

I still think the team is going to be very good, and I understand they are dealing with injuries. I saw the graphic the Sox put up with the OD lineup, and the pitchers gave me a little bit of a pause, that's all. Luckily, it seems like they have an offense that should put up a bunch of runs. We'll see.

Sorry, but having Tanner Banks, Kyle Crick, Matt Foster, Dallas Keuchel, Jose Ruiz Bennett Sousa and Vince Velasquez all on the OD roster for a "World Series Contending" team gives me some pause.

I think that's a bit of a stretch in this case.

The issue I have with this is the alternative became Vince Velasquez. I wouldn't want to invest long term dollars into Carlos Rodon. I understand that. But the Sox didn't have to. They could have made a one-year investment to a pitcher that just gave them a 5 WAR in 2021, and have thin pitching depth in their organization. It would have just cost them money, nothing else. "Taking a chance" is an overstatement when it's a one-year commitment to a player that JUST produced for you. And looking at things in hindsight, if you're asking me if I'd rather have Rodon or Harrison/Velazquez/Kelly in 2022...I'm taking Rodon. Mendick can play the Harrison role, VV SUCKS, and who knows when Joe Kelly actually gets here.- Cueto to Sox (Official)
Grandal got hurt, whole big thing, so they are going to try and have Cueto play catcher. We’ll see if it works out, guy still has a hell of an arm.- Are the 2022 White Sox better than the 2021 team? On offense, yes, by a lot!
I believe I could be in the best shape of my life, If I started eating better and worked out 6 days a week…..which seems about just as likely to happen as the White Sox offense staying healthy all season.- Score the Offseason!
It's a very boring C. They had a very good team coming into the offseason. They have a very good team coming into this season as well. They made some moves, but nothing to make this team substantially better than it was last year. I wanted them to be much more aggressive, and try to maximize their chances at a possible Championship in the next two years. I don't feel like they put in that effort. I don't believe they made any moves this offseason that will make the significantly worse than last season, but that's not really something you deserve credit for. That's a pretty low bar to clear. I'm excited for the season to start and excited to see this team win a lot of ballgames in 2022. I just don't feel like they have put themselves in the best position to win a Championship like they could have, and that's frustrating.- Cueto to Sox (Official)
Cueto was the best guy left on the market and with Lynn hurt, it was basically a signing that needed to happen. With that said, the above is also absolutely correct. I think Leury can provide some value, but if you asked me which I’d rather have: Rodon + Leury or Leury + Velasquez + Harrison + Cueto I’m taking the top option every time, and there is no reason it couldn’t have played out that way.- Austin Meadows traded to the Tigers
I've been guilty far too many times myself. I get it. - Cueto to Sox (Official)
