January 10, 20242 yr Good move for him because the initial 50m was probably taken up by "handlers" and the current 88m deal is way below market so he needs to get paid on the next one.
January 10, 20242 yr I hope he makes his "come to the White Sox, Cuban prospect" video before he leaves.
January 10, 20242 yr He was never going to play out his contract here anyways, doesn't matter who his agent is. This does however worry me about Luis putting up another 5+ WAR season and Boras bitching about his clients $15million salary.

January 10, 20242 yr Unless new ownership is in place before his deal expires and given how Boras, the vast majority of the time, takes his players to free agency, you can assume his days with the Sox will be numbered.
January 10, 20242 yr At this point, his trade value, will never be higher, trade him now and get a ton of talent.
January 10, 20242 yr This is a nonissue. I'm not sure why we wouldn't trade him. We're probably 3-4 years from competing.
January 10, 20242 yr 57 minutes ago, The Mighty Mite said: I think the Sox have 2 more years of control plus 2 more years of team options. So to get good value they need to trade him with 2years left on his deal. They have him for 2 more years.

January 10, 20242 yr I don’t know what this season will look like for him on health or performance but I do think this raises the chance that they listen if they get a serious bidder. Ditto next offseason.
January 11, 20242 yr Thanks for your time on the Southside, Luis, and good luck to whatever team you land on next...rest assured, you'll be on another team.

May as well trade him with more than 2 years of control. Luis Robert may sell some tickets for Reinsdorf over the next two seasons but he isn’t leading the Sox to the playoffs.
