upnorthsox Posted March 1, 2005 Share Posted March 1, 2005 QUOTE(BridgeportHeather @ Mar 1, 2005 -> 05:39 AM) Does anyone know the terms to which Cotts signed? And, what's Honel's chances of playing in the bigs this summer? September call-up? Wait til next year??? Neil is entitled to a 10% raise or $330,000 if he makes the 25 man. IMO Honel's chances are slim to none but we'll wait and see about September. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guys that are not arbitration eligible basically sign fopr what the Sox tell them to, within the bounds of the CBA. And it's not just the Sox, it's every team.

Elaboration: The young players are considered to be property of the White Sox, until they fulfill certain major league length of service conditions, then the become eligible for free agency if they are not bound by contract. Along the way, guys reach a ML service level and become arbitration eligible. These signees are not to that point yet. Basically, they are in a situation like many of us in the regard that they go to boss who says we are giving you X$ raise this year.

Gene Honda Civic Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 Because YASNY lost even me, in simplest terms. Players are property of one team for their first 6 years in the majors. They become arbitration eligible after three seasons. The first three seasons they make near league minimum. That is the case for most of the 17 who were signed.

joemg311 Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 (edited) Ok thanks guys it is becoming much more clear. But what is to stop the sox from giving everyone of those players the league minimum? Is it just good will and buisness and about keeping people happy to set up for the future the reason they give people more money? or are the raises in contract?
