He’s the pitching prospect the Sox got from the Yankees in the Austin Slater trade last year. Edited 4 hours ago by WhiteSox2023 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteSox2023 Posted 4 hours ago Share Posted 4 hours ago (edited) 7 minutes ago, Sleepy Harold said: Yeah, so I was right. Boston sending cash. I was told that the White Sox wouldn’t be getting cash back in the deal because they were also getting the better prospect back. But Hicks’ contract (2/$24, plus incentives based on IP) is bad for his performance. No way were the Sox taking on Hicks without getting some of his contract paid.

Baron Posted 4 hours ago Share Posted 4 hours ago I think at one point they tried a seperate Leasure trade but didn't go through. White Sox want to keep him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe you said “good chunk of cash” implying to some that it was most of the remaining. edit: $8M is a solid chunk though I guess just seeing that now Edited 4 hours ago by Bob Sacamano Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never said it would be most of what is remaining. I did think that there’s no way the White Sox make the trade without getting money back. Everyone else said they wouldn’t get any cash in the deal because they were getting the better prospect back. Edit: Apparently it’s $8 million, $4 million a year.

At quick view this Sandlin doesn’t seem too special so it makes sense. I think people (myself included) thought it would be a better piece). Again I know nothing about Sandlin so anyone feel free to make sense of why it makes sense that we need to pay Hicks $8M a year for 2 years to get him. Almost would have made sense to just sign a reliever. Unless they think they can fix Hicks and also flip him later but still, feel like you can do that in free agency.

The original rumor was that the Boston pitching prospect coming back would be 10-15 and the White Sox prospect was around the back-end of their top 30. Sandlin is at 8 and Ziehl is at 14 on MLB Pipeline for 2025. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Sacamano Posted 4 hours ago Share Posted 4 hours ago Worth noting we added two 40-man guys so including Hays, we need to clear 3 spots. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
