I don’t understand why some people think we are just going to stay pat for the rest of the offseason. I'm not saying they stay pat, I just figure if they are going to wait for the cheapest SP option (maybe 5-6 million), that maybe they would spend $10 million on a DH type, but if the market for high end DH is $16 million, we can't (won't) do that.

Second in the NL in runs scored in 2020, 1 behind Los Angeles. Lose Ozuna but swap in Realmuto and...still one of the top NL offenses presumably.

Only one of them can advance to the WS though so it doesn't matter from our standpoint. We just need the talent to spread around in the AL and leave our division.
January 21, 20215 yr Almost February and if you had to make a team out of the available free agents you'd definitely be able to make a playoff team ... world series even? Probably not world series ... but definitely think this is an issue MLB needs to start figuring out. Every year is this going to be the norm? Have decent players just go unrostered into the spring training and the season? SP - Bauer, Tanaka, Odorizzi, Paxton, T. Walker CP - Hand C - Reamulto 1B - Justin Turner 2B - Semien 3B - Didi SS - Andrelton Simmons LF Marcell Ozuna CF - JBJ RF - Joc Pederson/Puig DH - Nelson Cruz

January 22, 20215 yr Assuming that the White Sox have something left in their International Pool money and they use it to sign Colas right now for less than his market value. How long would it be before the White Sox could extend him to a longer term major league Contract (i.e., two years plus option)? I guess I am trying to figure out a way to do what the White Sox and Colas want to do but can't because of the International signing rules. There has to be a way to do what both sides want.

It would have to be long enough that you could convince MLB that it was a legitimate extension like they have given to others. Realistically, he would need to be on the verge of a call up, or already called up.

There’s not. He can’t really sign officially until January 15,2022
