So Luery to CF, Palka to right..... Why in god's name do you take out Engel Ricky? You need his defense for the 8th & 9th.....

Yonder.... if all you do is walk, I won't be displeased.... what is that now... 9 walks this year?

Cov..... oh wait

YOYO!!!!! and Would be nice to give Eloy some confidence here.

Nice to know that Jace Fry carried over his trash

So, you're saying Moncada will get more than Acuna?

Screw it, 5/60M for Moncada with 2 $20M options to make it 7/100.... Does Moncada say no to that?

Eloy's got to take a step back and a deep breath.... It looks like he's pressing.

Alonso does know how to walk well, I'll give him that.

Would be nice to see Eloy go yard for the first time here

Moncada just coming out of the gate and saying "the money will be spent..... on me and Eloy"

Yoyo tho

This made me LOL hard! POTY!

I would think they are betting on getting arb cheaper. IMO

I believe it may be 2y.... Cheaper arb as well.

Called the options.

I would assume, if it's truely an 8y deal, the last 2 years are team options.

But he also came back with 60-65 w/ incentives 75-80.

I believe it would be 2? Correct me if I'm wrong. I'd like to bet the last 2y are team options.

Gomez was onto something.... Woah

It's essentially giving him more guaranteed money in the form of a signing bonus up front. Signing bonuses are dead money against the cap, but lower the cap hit (ala salary).... Harder to cut the player in the future though. Not that you'd want to, but you had an out on Mack after Y3, but now it's more realistic that Y4/Y5 is the out. Kicking the can down the road is a good analogy.

Rot in hell Jerry.

That's not the White Sox way though......

Unless it's for elite, future HOF free agents, then it's on lockdown security & hired mercenaries protecting it..... Too soon?

"We believe that he fits into the timeline of building a roster that will hopefully, uhhhhh, win multiple championships. He is an ideal candidate to help our younger players accelerate their timeline and provide a presence that can, uhhhhh, help our ballclub."
