January 15, 20242 yr 4 hours ago, Chicago White Sox said: Wow…zero DR signings so far I don't think that's particularly shocking if the DR is the main source of Latin American talent and the majority of the better DR prospects have agreements a year or 2 in advance. JR wont play in those waters. Nothing's changed. Too bad they traded Tatis Jr. That could've been a game changer in regards to being more receptive to DR prospects. Instead it's business as usual with JR making the rules. Edited January 15, 20242 yr by CaliSoxFanViaSWside

January 15, 20242 yr 15 minutes ago, ChiSox59 said: What does this mean, exactly? It probably means the Sox themselves aren't announcing anything until next week and the DR freakout was pointless.
January 17, 20242 yr In comparison...zero excuses the Sox can't have better international signings. SD traded boatloads for Clevinger, Nola's brother, Soto... https://www.gaslampball.com/2024/1/15/24037947/padres-land-1-international-amateur-prospect-leodalis-de-vries And now back to a Top 5 system with these intl moves over two consecutive years.

January 17, 20242 yr White Sox gonna be White Sox. While they landed a top 10 quality kid, the class is incredibly shallow as usual and I suspect they have money left they aren’t going to spend and trade away at some point.

We know of seven players from Venezuela and Profar out of Curacao so far. They'll announce these next week as well as their signings out of the Dominican Republic

I am not worried about the second half of the article addressing the delay in announcements. What I believe most White Sox fans are more concerned with is to use all of the available slot money wisely, including young prospects, which has not happened in the past.

January 24, 20242 yr 3 minutes ago, ChiSox59 said: Anyone know how much of their bonus pool they didn't use? Since we don't know who else they signed yet it's impossible to know. They have some DR signings and perhaps others .Seems like they always leave something in reserve for late signees or to trade. We may get more info this week or later.
January 24, 20242 yr Available Pool: $5,925,000 - $3,005,000 = $2,920,000 remaining. Four confirmed amounts in the Sun Times Article.

January 27, 20242 yr This is a nice and informative Twitter string on the current age scandal unravelling in the Dominican.

Luis Silverio…Anderson Gomes, etc. Can scout Brazil for the next Andre Rienzo…Krause’s last official assignment with Sox.
February 11, 20242 yr On 1/24/2024 at 4:10 PM, CaliSoxFanViaSWside said: You left out Elier Gil, Catcher, Venezuela. He was signed November 30th and counts toward last year’s pool. The four players I listed remain the four officially signed through today per posted online transactions. The pool runs between January 15 of this and next year, and they have $2.92M left less any signings they haven’t officially recorded.
February 12, 20242 yr Does this money carry over to next year or the team just loses it if they don’t spend it?
