November 8, 20223 yr We're awake. But we're very puzzled. Edited November 8, 20223 yr by Jack Parkman
November 8, 20223 yr Wow that’s surprising and good for the White Sox. Probably wanted to run away from the clubhouse mess! Edited November 8, 20223 yr by PolishPrince34
November 8, 20223 yr This does clear up some money, but also creates a need. Wonder if that is a comment on the team.

I'll be surprised if he nets what he would have had he stayed, but if the clubhouse was as toxic as it seemed, I can hardly blame him. A few $M less to be somewhere he wants to be at the tail end of his career does make sense.
November 8, 20223 yr Looking at right-handed OF bats (potentially ones that can play CF too) to platoon with whatever lefty they bring in, there really aren't many solid options (in free agency at least) to the point where paying Engel $2.3 mill seems more likely now than when we thought Pollock would also be here. Unless the Sox make a small trade for one. Edited November 8, 20223 yr by Bob Sacamano

He's going to be 35 in December so it's not like he's in line for a huge payday...he wanted to get out for a reason, other than money.

Whats the likelihood the Sox approached him and said "Listen, if you opt in the plan is to use you as a 4th OFer / Backup" and he just wasn't interested in that?

The fact that he straight up turned down $8 million when he probably doesn't get more than that anywhere else tells you how much he didn't like playing here.

He is going to get close to $10 million anyways considering the buyout is $5 million.
