November 19, 20223 yr Just now, Chicago White Sox said: Generally shocked by non-tendering Mendick. He should be on this team instead of Leury Garcia.
November 19, 20223 yr We now have four “outfielders” on the 40 man roster with three of them being Eloy, Sheets, & Vaughn. I know Colas being added is just a matter of time, but Rick has his work ahead of him.

The extent to which the Sox are relying on someone who might not even be a consensus top 100 prospect to step in and immediately be a productive player is insane.

How many orgs would give him a clearer path to big league playing time than the Sox? I doubt it's too many. Edited November 19, 20223 yr by maxjusttyped

Even fringe top 100 prospects are pretty rare for us, so of course Hahn is going to treat him as our savior.

He still had options right? Not saying you’re wrong, but if he could be optioned he’s still decent UTIL depth. Edited November 19, 20223 yr by Tnetennba

I know Colas being added is just a matter of time, but Rick has his work ahead of him. Which is funny because literally none of those players are really outfielders.

No idea then. Not like we don’t have enough spots on the 40 man roster to keep a useful backup infielder when healthy.

If that was the case I wouldn’t have tendered him either. Since he wasn’t mentioned I assume that means they offered arbitration to Ruiz?

November 19, 20223 yr They've got a few Mendicks on the 40 man; and even though it's a sunk cost, the aren't dumping Leury.

Arb 1 becomes a guaranteed contract if he’s on the roster on April 1, or I believe he may still be cuttable for a smaller fee at that point, but he becomes a free agent if sent down at any point other than a rehab assignment. They could have offered him arbitration and sent Sosa or Romy down when he came back, and they could have put him at AAA on a rehab assignment.
