southsider2k5 Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 MLBTR said it is a NRI to spring training, so MiLB deal it is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFutureIsNear Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 It is a minor league deal according to mlbtraderumors https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2023/01/white-sox-sign-hanser-alberto-infielder.html Could be worse as a bench piece, will be interesting to see how the overlap of him and Luery work.

Unless they decide not to go with their rookies due to Spring Training failures, he is a backup who is at Charlotte through April until someone in the infield gets hurt. Leury is on a big league contract, he won't be cut to start the year for a guy who has had a similar career so far. If and when someone gets hurt, he is now the first replacement in the organization. It will be interesting to see how many of these guys opt out on May 1. They now have several guys who can do so, and if several of them do so before someone gets hurt in May or June they could be seriously scrambling to find warm bodies. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 For the record, this gives the Sox some fall back space at 2B. -You can see if Sosa is ready -You can see if Romy is ready -You can see if 2022 was injury related to Leury, or if he really is toast. -If all of those other things fail, you have a safety net now. I wish we would do the same in RF. It is just smart organizational work. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donny Lucy's Avocado Farm Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 This is a good signing. Surprised he signed a NRI. Makes you realize how FUCKING ASSININE the Leury contract is. 1 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do however want a legit #4 OF signing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a hard time justifying a bench spot to either Sheets or Burger when Colas is up. No flexibility with either unless you want Burger to get some DH/1B at bats every once in a while and play him at 3B against some tough lefties.

This guy has career stats very similar to Leury and has been paid *breaks out calculator* about $8 million less than Leury over the past three years. And Leury is owed $11 million still.
