I really like Guillorme

That's more than I thought he would get.

What a final. Messi deserved it and Mbappe nearly won the game by himself.

Yup this is a pretty fair deal for the Cubs. They're paying him as a 3 WAR player in his age 29-36 seasons. Last year's 6 WAR was obviously an aberration because of his defense, but I think the Cubs will get at least 21 WAR out of him.

Oh I remember when Dylan decided to keep throwing bad change ups to lefties.

He's gonna cost something around $10 million a year for 2-3 years. I'm not sure the Sox have that kind of money right now to sign him.

I'm pretty sure there's no vaccination requirements anymore for Canada or NYC.

Yeah I've been thinking their schedule has been rough. Their SRS was actually decent before these last 3 games. You can't lose 2 in a row at home to the Knicks...there's no hope for this team.

The Twins might be interested in him, but I doubt he wants to play in the miserable cold again. I can see him going back to the west coast.

Pham seems like he's kind of an asshole to have in the clubhouse.

Not really. I looked it up earlier and he maybe gets 3-5 more hits.

They are definitely shopping him. The Sox are currently at a $182 million payroll and they still have 2B, 4th OFer, and possibly another catcher as spots they need to fill. The Benintendi signing makes that pretty clear. However, if they're willing to either salary dump Graveman or Kelly, I'd be ok with that too.

What else do the Jays have that's MLB-ready that we would want?

His contract actually looks reasonable now if you believe his peripherals over his actual pitching performance last year. Let's hope the teams that are interested didn't watch him pitch last year. Cause when he didn't have it, he was unwatchable.

Those teams must have saw his FIP in the low 3s and thought last year was an aberration. I think if Kelly stays healthy this year (not that likely), he could rebound very well. He was quite unlucky last year and I think the injury was messing with his ability to control his sinker.

Nimmo's the better player, but Benintendi has a better chance of being useful by the end of this contract. I can't imagine a 37 year old Nimmo being useful.

Nimmo was obviously the best move they could have made, but that deal was also twice the value of this one. Jerry ain't paying that.

Jack would have hated us signing Aaron Judge if Jerry actually decided to shell out the money. I feel like there's no pleasing some people. On here, on Reddit, on Twitter, all I saw was that the Sox weren't gonna sign anyone significant. There was a post on the baseball subreddit about the White Sox doing absolutely nothing like 2 days ago. The White Sox subreddit was full of people shitting on the team for not doing anything. Now they actually spend some money on a fairly reasonable deal to acquire someone who can help with the team's deficiencies and all of a sudden it's too much money or the player isn't good enough.

Not all of those guys played in Kansas City. That park + the humidor + dead ball meant nobody was hitting homers last year.

I don't really disagree considering how often Jansen is injured.

I could see them trying to get Biggio along with Jansen.

lol come on man, Eaton was 32 when we signed him the 2nd time around. Benintendi will be that age when this contract is over.

lmao they'd rather pay him his money to go away.

The Sox were supposedly in on Murphy.

You joke, but I brought up Benintendi when we hired Grifol.
