On the other hand, even if these kids pan out, we won’t see any major contributions from these targets until 2035.. Sure, but you have to start somewhere. And I would rather see this vs another over the hill utility guy or mediocre reliever. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted September 30 Author Share Posted September 30 The White Sox will also bid 300 million. Wait, what? The bidding is in dollars, not Yen? Nevermind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well that article was in Korean won/KRW. A bit strange for a highly-hyped NPB player...to play the "insiders" role here early.

The White Sox still might not spend even if KRW was equal to USD... From spending two weeks in Osaka and Kyoto this summer... it reinforced how expensive everything in Japan is. Tokyo even felt more affordable two years ago. Edited September 30 by caulfield12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't imagine some under the table money prior to signing doesn't exist. I also notice that if it is paid in 2030, and there have been a lot of ifs already, it would be after Ishbia is in control. Could this be a signal that under him things will be different or am I over reading things? I dont think you're misreading things at all. There's no JR money involved in this and no JR jurisdiction. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
