I suppose that's possible, but it's giving this front office quite the benefit of the doubt and expecting them to thread the worlds tightest needle if that is indeed the case.

November 17, 20214 yr They're quite obviously teasing Scherzer. Nobody's buying it yet. One positive is just no way it drags on and on like Machado or even Wheeler. Kind of ironic that Wheeler would have been perfect for the Sox while the Phillies still might never make the playoffs even with him and Harper winning Cy Young and MVP.

Wheeler made a quick decision....Scherzer won’t sign for a while it appears

Greinke hates it in Chicago I just learned from baseball reference that Robbie Ray was on the 2014 Tigers. Not that I’m implying I think the Sox are in on him. They’re more likely to sign me than Ray.

They’re more likely to sign me than Ray. It would be insane to let Rodon go to buy extremely high on Ray...when he will likely never repeat that performance. Plus, White Sox definitely looking at 1-2+ (option) year guys. Edited November 17, 20214 yr by caulfield12

You, and others, really have to stop thinking of it as not willing to simply pay him 18 million if he returned and more about what they think he has left in the tank. Frankly, it’s gotten just as annoying to see in every post as the Kimbrel decision.

I suppose that's possible, but it's giving this front office quite the benefit of the doubt and expecting them to thread the worlds tightest needle if that is indeed the case. Which is why we should wait and see what they do this offseason or what kind of contract Rodon gets before we declare them idiots. If they have higher hopes than Carlos for that last rotation spot, then it probably wasn’t worth offering him the QO if there was any level of risk he would accept. Also, who is to say Carlos wouldn’t have pulled a Thor by trying to get a quick deal and then using the QO as a fallback if he couldn’t pass a physical? We just don’t have enough info right now to say it was a stupid decision or not.
November 17, 20214 yr Author Woops guess I was wrong he got 2 for 50 basically. But I was right he’d get more than $20M

For the record, I’d definitely be willing to sign for 1 year + option. And you’re definitely not buying high on me.

There is definitely a method to their madness and they didn’t pass on offering Rodon the QO because they didn’t want to spend $18.4M on a 5 win pitcher. Health and/or regression obviously played a huge role in their decision.

And even if they brought back Rodon for 18 million in 2022, the same posters would freak out about their lack of pitching depth once Rodon gets injured again
