  • This is a pretty great signing by the Giants. Sure, there’s risk, but SF prints money with that ballpark and it is max 2 years.  The upside is a top 5 Cy Young guy.  I certainly would rather pay Carlo

  • I’m happy he went out on a great season here.  His draft night was certainly exciting on this board.

  • And who plays RF?

I wonder how much more money not having a QO attached got him.

 

Part of me wonders if there was some sort of handshake agreement upon him re-signing with the Sox, that they wouldn't extend the qualifying offer if he ended up warranting one.

First big move.. Maybe others will start to fall

Are qualifying offers still a thing going forward after this latest deal?

I don't think that's legal. Boras would be an awful agent if he let one player's situation affect another.

If they agree to an internation draft the QO is gone.. If they do not, the QO remains.

Yeah how does it work exactly? Say if we offered Rodon the QO, he declines, but doesn't sign before the expiration of the CBA. Do we still get a comp. pick if they do come up with an international draft? 

Happy for Los!  From a Sox stand point I never really could decide if I wanted him back or not so I’m not mad, not happy, just a move by another team. 

Good for Carlos and the Giants. I hope he does very well for them and we never have to face him.

I would guess so from the way this was handled vs how Kimbrel was handled, but that is completely without evidence to support it.

Good for Carlos! Hope it works out for him in SF. We had already moved on and 44 million is a lot for an injury prone pitcher. Glad he went to the NL instead of the AL.

I’m happy he went out on a great season here.  His draft night was certainly exciting on this board.

Glad he got a nice deal, but glad sox chose to give that money to Lynn, since his injury risk is lower.

We were never going to give him 22 million a year knowing his body

Boras would have done a handshake agreement for Rodon to return to the White Sox in 21 cheaply over other teams if they wouldn’t offer a QO. It’s either that happened or Rick Hahn is an idiot who didn’t understand the market by $26 million.

Good for him. I wonder if that opt out issue may be holding up Conforto as well as Boras usually likes to attach that when the player is coming off a bad year. Maybe we are insisting on a mutual opt out and they aren't agreeing.

I’ve heard Conforto wants big years and money

Well he isn't getting 150 after last year from anyone, IMO and a player only opt out leaves with all the risk and none of the flexibility in case Colas is ready. 

If they are gonna string us along, sign Schwarber.

And who plays RF?

smh

Happy for Carlos he deserves generational wealth. I am also happy the White sox didn't just give this man 44 million and an opt out.
