If Ishiba wasn't in the picture, I would bet dollars to donuts Mune isn't signed to an extension. Even with Ishbia's money it isn't a 100% lock for Mune to stay.

It will be very interesting what direction the Sox go with Mune, Gonzalez, Bonemer, and possibly Roch.

Ishbia is not and may not be in the picture as you say next year when it is time to extend Mune. There is no way JR and the current organization will let Mune walk without offering him an enormous contract. He is too important to this team and to this city of great baseball fans. It would be like allowing Michael Jordan to walk. Not going to happen.

Get Sonny Gray and Garrett Whitlock.

They will cover the buyout and part of the contract for this year if needed.

Beni is having a decent year.Perhaps he could be traded for a pitcher. Have Gonzalez and Mune alternate betweeen DH and first Base.

This would honestly be great. If you could get it done

Seems like you are not taking into consideration all of the glowing Mune quotes expressing his loyalty as a White Sox player. According to him himself, he wants to stay here.

You have to take all those with a grain of salt though. It all depends on what a team is willing to pay for his services.

And Getz has said he wants to keep him here (with an understanding that he's earning a bigger payday). Both sides will try to work something out whether it's this summer or after the season.

100%

I put the probability that Mune stays at 80/20.

With the Padres sputtering, I keep thinking about Mason Miller. I’d have to imagine that would cost Bonemer though if they are even willing to trade him at all.
