Free-agent RHP Miguel Gonzalez is in agreement with the #WhiteSox on a one-year contract, sources tell The Athletic. Gonzalez had a 4.02 ERA in 268 2/3 innings with the White Sox in 2016-17.

I'm okay with this. Better than Covey. Is this a minor league deal?

This is fine.

40-man is full, so somebody gots to go

MLB deal.

$4.75 million. Not terrible. I feel mildly better about the 5th spot.

Not a bad move. We need somebody to go out there and eat 150 innings in 2018, could do worse than Gonzalez.

 

 

With the state of our team I would have preferred to take a flyer on someone else. Oh well

I am somewhat, somewhat surprised he got an MLB deal not gonna lie. Only complaining due to 40 man.

Love it. Happy to see Miguel back on the south side. Hopefully this means Covey becomes the long relief arm in the pen.

They could outright Jacob May, I would think.

Somewhat surprised he is getting a major league deal as well, but hard to be that upset when we need veteran stability in the rotation. Does Covey get cut?

No biggie. We know about what he is worth if he is pitching well as a flip.

 

I'm sure he's cheap, and innings will be available.

Pardon my ignorance, but can he be cut since he was a Rule 5 last year? I'm not sure how that works.

Covey's ability to be either a bad starting pitcher or bad reliever makes him valuable unfortunately.

 

Totally fleeced the rangers getting both Forbes AND miguel for life.

I think the fact that it is a MLB deal is just goodwill by the organization since they seem to like Miguel.

Hey! MiGo!

 

He'll eat innings, so can't complain. Get shot #2 at flipping him.

Well there's the 5th starter warm body. Cheaper than what it cost us for Holland last year.

Jacob May dfa'd.

Haha I hope this is sarcasm^

 

I don't see how Covey justifies a 40 man roster spot when we have many better options internally

So the rotation on opening day is shaped up to be: Giolito, Lopez, Fulmer, Gonzalez, Shields (no specific order)?

Good guy in the clubhouse. Welcome back my Mexican brother!

Yup looks about right. Feels good to have some stability. Barring injuries, MiGo probably goes to the pen when Rodon comes back.

Shields could be dropped to the pen also and no one would be mad.

 

Heck, with a rotation that young I wouldn't mind going to a 6 man rotation for a few weeks either if the roster could take it.
