Chicago White Sox Posted 22 hours ago Share Posted 22 hours ago 20 hours ago, Whisox05 said: supposedly sox are willing to include money in trade with Robert. Behind a pay wallet but others read it Direct quote from this Rosenthal article in the Athletic: Quote As detailed last week by MLB.com’s Mike Petriello, right-handed-hitting outfielders are scarce. And while Robert has drawn interest from the Mets and Philadelphia Phillies, he might be more likely to end up with a low-payroll team that ends up striking out on free agents – the Pittsburgh Pirates, for example. To make such a deal happen, the White Sox almost certainly would need to include cash to make Robert more affordable. They are open to doing that as a way of enhancing the return, according to a club official. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like he won’t give money to him but might some other team.

Mets checked in with White Sox on outfielder Luis Robert | New York Post That’s the type of dumb petty bullshit I could believe. It also doesn’t mean Jerry isn’t willing to eat some money for other teams. When it comes to insiders, I will always place Ken Rosenthal’s info above all else. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baron Posted 21 hours ago Share Posted 21 hours ago Ken says pretty definitively they are willing to eat some money for a better return. The reaction on here...that's impossible. I'm sure Ken was pulling that report out of thin air. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha, no one wanted the guy so they had to include money to save money. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2024/07/white-sox-trade-eloy-jimenez-orioles.html ”Chicago is reportedly kicking in $4MM to cover almost all of the approximate $4.26MM remaining on his contract. The Sox would also pay down $1.5MM of the $3MM buyout on Jimenez’s 2025 club option, which the O’s are virtually certain to decline.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
