CaliSoxFanViaSWside Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 16 minutes ago, ChiSox59 said: I think you basically need to play Benintendi mostly everyday against RHP, at least for now. Sox still owe him like $65M. Absolutely have to try to find a serviceable player out of him, especially in a lost season. Of course but he's probably started every game in LF against LHP too.

WhiteSox2023 Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 I’m shocked that Pham got that much money and that Jerry approved this signing. He must really not want to set records. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 Tommy Pham, little does he know, he's gonna be THE fan favorite. He's our only hitter (cept for mabe Vaughn and Sheets) who can possibly hit a HR. Pham is gonna take over the South Side. Get him a Spam commercial ASAP. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it’s time to send Vaughn down and let him work through his s%*#. There is literally nothing to lose in doing so as he’s a legit non-tender candidate next off-season if he doesn’t substantially improve by then. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Traded for a 17-year old, left-handed infield prospect last year. Would be good if we could do that again (with any of these guys). https://www.baseball-reference.com/register/player.fcgi?id=rodrig007jer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteSox2023 Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 (edited) 1 hour ago, 4OCS said: You’re shocked by three million? And the potential to make $4.5 million. I realize a $3 million base salary isn’t much but no other team was going to sign the guy due to his age unless they suffered an OF injury. Pham was just sitting around waiting. For a team trying to compete I could see it making sense. But I’m surprised JR would agree to pay more money in an attempt to prevent what looks unavoidable, a record losing season.

No team was willing to pay Pham that kind of money on the free agent market, hence his value wasn’t that high. I realize he was productive last year but he’s also 36 years old and could be in line for a steep decline. That could be why no team thought he was worth throwing $7 to $10 million at. Baseball is a young man’s game and only the Sox haven’t figured this out yet. Edited April 16 by WhiteSox2023 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sox also have the 11th youngest team in the league currently. But yes, only the Sox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swingandalongonetoleft Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 I haven't really kept up with the Tommy Pham saga. Is there a reason no one else was interested in his services? Age? Great to see the money being spent!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously I am talking about their long history of free agent acquisitions being old, past their prime veterans. You know, their offseason strategy for the past 20+ years under Getz, Hahn, and Kenny.
