Straw has had an OPS under .600 in both of the last two seasons. 3 more years and $19.25 million for trash. Yikes. 24: $4.5M, 25: $6M, 26: $7M, 27: $8M club option ($1.75M buyout), 28: $8.5M club option ($500,000 buyout) Edited March 22, 20242 yr by WhiteSox2023

March 22, 20242 yr Opt-out decisions are due now for Shaw, Leone, Chavez, Keller, Moustakas, and Pillar.

Keller, Leone, and Chavez I would guess stick around. Shaw too, although he really should be launched from a catapult into Bubbly Creek.

March 22, 20242 yr Anyone know why they don’t have anything scheduled Monday or Tuesday? B games at least?

I quickly looked at his stats, and he appeared to be a better fielder than Pillar, and a natural CF. However, his platoon stats are neutral, perhaps even slightly reverse, and I didn't really look at his contract status. I rescind my support.
March 22, 20242 yr 8 minutes ago, Tnetennba said: This is pretty standard, no? No. They usually have a 3pm game on Monday and a 2pm game on Tuesday. I doubt they leave Sunday night. Probably intrasquad/organization games the last couple days, as Fathom mentioned.

You have so many great players, it's hard to make a decision. It's possible not a single one of the fourteen players listed below could even be the last man on a competitive White Sox team. That said, it makes no sense the next two years to go with retirees they are likely to roster over the younger players which may possibly be worth something in a couple of years.
