July 7, 20214 yr I look for Eaton to get back on whatever he quit taking the last few years, have strong remainder of the season and make another few million in 2022.

I still think they played him too much too early but obviously injuries forced their hand. Sox aren’t messing around - of course Joc sure would have been nice. Joc has been pretty terrible as well. 94 wRC+; 0.2 fWAr.

I just can't imagine with Engel dealing with injuries and the high probability that Goodwin turns into a pumpkin sometime soon I think they're going to get someone, admitting to this mistake was the first step. The FO made a reasonable decision to acquire Eaton and a reasonable decision to cut him loose IMO. Seems to me they are being proactive far more than in prior years.

July 7, 20214 yr Just now, soxfan49 said: HAHAHA Eaton is a clown and his teammates hate him lmao Goodwin is definitely happy he'll have a job for at least one more month.

I doubt the Sox were even all that interested.
July 7, 20214 yr This move says Hahn is the GM after all, guaranteed this move was made over TLR objection.

July 7, 20214 yr 1 minute ago, KipWellsFan said: This seems inappropriate, no??? Or am I missing something? Maybe Eaton didn't allow any partying in the clubhouse. He's a grumpy old man after all.

It's definitely appropriate. Eaton is an asshole and even his teammates know it. Of course it's in reference to Eaton being DFA'd.

He is DFA'd if someone picks him up they do not pay the salary. If they release him and he is replaced by Engel then there is nothing really gained other than Goodwin's salary which is nothing. Releasing him and taking on a decent sized contract shows a change in philosophy.
July 7, 20214 yr After a good win, the White Sox march on hoping to party party party tonight upon securing a series win.

If he clears waivers and gets released, we still pay him the rest of his salary. I doubt he gets claimed and we're not going to end up outrighting him to Charlotte afterwards.

I can't see anyone claiming him, but yes. If he flows through waivers, he can either accept an assignment to the minors, or elect free agency. Either way Eaton gets paid.

Either way Eaton gets paid. Nobody's going to claim him but someone might trade for him and be willing to pay a small portion of his remaining salary. Not likely, but not impossible.

July 7, 20214 yr Eaton was a good player, but I think age and injuries caught up to him. Still a bit of a surprise considering we have players who could be sent down as the have options left

Eaton is such a dbag. Looks like he rubbed TLR and the Sox the wrong way by refusing a rehab assignment. Edited July 7, 20214 yr by ron883
