January 29, 20215 yr Quote The White Sox offered Pederson a one-year contract worth at least $10 million, but he asked for more money and was turned down, according to a person with knowledge of the situation. The club filled its hole with Adam Eaton. He signed a one-year, $7-million deal with a club option for 2022 last month. It appears that Joc overplayed his hand a bit.

January 29, 20215 yr Heh... so Joc overplayed his hand and got burned. I don't know why, but he just seems like the type of player who would come here and absolutely suck anyways.

January 29, 20215 yr God they wanted to give him 10 million and he wanted more. Yep no thanks. See you next year and try again.

That's not how free agency works. Like somebody mentioned, Joc might have wanted to play every day. Or maybe Joc was asking for more money a month ago and we didn't want to be left with nobody. Looks like I nailed it with this post.

No way the Sox should have offered 2/20 to a guy who couldn't get more than 1/7 from anybody else.

January 29, 20215 yr eaton is absolutely the better hitter, yes health is obviously a concern, both statements can be true.

He hasn't been close to that guy ever since leaving the Sox I don’t really see why it should be such a dramatic drop off for him- gonna have to wait to see how he plays to get a feel for this Edited January 29, 20215 yr by Jerksticks
