    Sure, but someone with a new title did it, so it's all good.

  • I guess I'd rather just roll with the young guys, or sign someone better that might actually have trade value.  Just another guy that best case scenario we're getting someone else's junk.  But at $3.5

  • If noone sees it.....did you really give up a 420 foot blast??

A fine signing.

Nice addition.  Inning eater, and had a decent 2024 with the Padres.

Why?

Why?

They need some veteran SP to eat innings. The young guys will get plenty of innings anyway.

The wild thing are the Marlins are literally the only team in baseball who has spent $0 on a free agent this year.  Imagine being outspend by the 121 loss White Sox.

Have the Twins spent any money this offseason?

So we got the financial details of this deal before the details of Rojas?

Yeah, they're kind of failing at this.

Rojas on travel leaving no chance for a physical?

I imagine this will be a tough Sporcle answer down the road for Sox Opening Day Starters.

Perez' best attribute has always been his health. league average healthy pitcher is easily worth 5 million. He'll

probably feel a little queasy many times this summer though.

Big time.

I guess this means no Jakob Junis.

Those guys cost money. The White Sox like shopping in the dollar store. 

Not mad about this. If he gives innings and stats healthy it's an ok signing

He’ll be wishing he was still pitching in Petco after a few starts at Rate.

Unfortunately, true.

Can’t afford

Is that because of the field dimensions or the defense behind him?

I also just don't like filling the roster with mid-30s fluff that isn't going to return much, not because they couldn't be useful, but because they take super valuable 40 man spots.  If there is one advantage the Sox have over the league is their spot on the waiver order.  Tough to take advantage of that if your 40 man is full of dudes you've recently acquired and prospects.

I just looked at the Sox 40 man because I was/am sure there are plenty of guys you can DFA, and was shocked at how many guys I've straight up never heard of, some that actually got time with the Sox last year. 

Fraser Ellard? 

Prelander Berrora?

Ron Marinaccio? 

Gus Varland? 

Man, it's a rough list lol

I imagine Draft Kings has our win total in the 90s now with this move!  🤣🤣🤣
