    Typical SoxTalk overreacting to something that’s not even a big deal. I think this was an overpay, but it’s not the end of the world like you guys are making it out to be. 

  • If he plays well for 5 more years, gets about 350 hr, and has an MVP under his belt, then being from Cuba and not being able to come to the US until he was 27 should put him in the Hall. 

  • I can honestly say I saw it coming.

Cool. A small corner of soxtalk in shambles.

Isn't this is overpay?

why are they weighing the cost toward the end when they will have LESS financial flexibility?

Wow that's an awful deal.

In what universe is he worth 16+ million a year, and 3 years? Jesus

That's f'ing horrible.

Sox had Abreu where they needed him then guaranteed him 2 more years -_-

Don't love the guaranteed 3rd year, but ok.

What does this mean for Vaughn?

Damn. Would have prefered going year to year, 2 year with an option tops. As long as he knows he's mostly DHing after next year.

Also does anyone think it's a possibility Vaughn is dangled to try and plug RF up?

$18M in 2021 is absolutely insane. Inexcusable really, no team would have offered this kind of contract. 

Im not a fan of this..

Vaughn will take over 1B when he’s ready. Abreu will slide over to DH

I was going to ask this, but then I just figured Vaughn will still be the future 1B, with Abreu moving to DH.  Or we could end up trading Vaughn.

I think this is crazy by the White Sox and I like Jose.

I think it just means Abreu will mainly be a DH

Good thing we have that extra spot on roster going forward 

One thing is for certain: Collins is expendable.

Abreu should DH, wouldn’t affect Vaughn playing 1B. Collins is now the 1 you have to wonder if it’s possible to get AB’s. He’ll likely be a trade chip

Not really, they just don't bring back McCann next year.  But that would mean Collins shows he can be a backup C.

Until Abreu isn't batting 3rd and playing 1B i'll believe it, Ricky seems content letting Jose keep those spots as long as he likes.

I don't think Collins would be enough to get you a possible long term RFer, but as a package it's possible.
