Relievers on longer 3/4 year deals have shown that at least 1 year is generally a dud or an unlucky one, so basically paying an additional 9mil season hoping that 2/3 are good isn't best use of funds. Also, we have some good talent in minors ready within that time frame I'm also not sure how long he'll hold up. He's definitely fun to watch, but he's already had one major injury and he has some interesting mechanics.
January 17, 20197 yr They are signing everybody in the league it seems. So much for that Luxury Tax being a deterrent for them.

January 17, 20197 yr At his age, I'd rather roll the dice on Hamilton-Burdi-Johnson-Burr-Ruiz-Thompson-Vieria for cheap.

If you’re 33 year old Adam Ottavino and you had two similar deals from the Yankees or the 100 loss White Sox, where would you go? Would have been awesome if the Sox could have gotten him. This is exactly what I was thinking. This is a major problem for the White Sox. We’re already second class citizens in the baseball world because of that team up north, and you couple that with 100 loss seasons? It’ll be a hard sell to get free agents here when winning clubs want them too.

January 17, 20197 yr Seems like a reasonable price to me; but I doubt the Sox could have gotten him for that price.
