There is no path for him unless he moves to the OF.Beni's contract is up after next year and the situation with Murakami is unclear long term. He can fit at 1B/DH or possibly even at 2B long term if they move Meidroth for cost controlled pitching at some point.

With Miller, you could also convert him into the rotation for the next three years.Imagine our bullpen with a resurgent Hicks and Taylor able to move into a setup role. Hicks / Newcomb / Taylor / Miller is a beast.The rotation starts to take shape with Burke / King / Martin as a respectful top three.

In this decade alone, they've already gone over that amount 4 times. Ishbia is paying down the team's debt and team revenue is going to increase with the boost in attendance they're experiencing.That doesn't mean I think it's a sure think that they'll keep Mune beyond next season, but let's not make it sound like his departure is basically a done deal.

5 hours ago5 hr 4 minutes ago, Chicago White Sox said:This is an absolutely garbage post and you should be ashamed for even typing it.Colson Cholowsky Bonemer Vargas is a good enough infield to more than make up the difference offensively.It’s also a better fielding one at three spots.If you’re going to extend Vargas instead of Murakami, it has to be considered.Ofc in a perfect world they sign Mune Vargas and Colson to long term extensions…and believe that the outcome will be much different from Moncada/Robert/Jimenez.Or it could just as easily be Cholowsky Mune Vargas…if you’re worried about Colson’s back holding up over time.From what we (supposedly) know só far, Vargas hasn’t expressed an abundant amount of interest in signing an extension, but it always comes down to $$$.
