southsider2k5 Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Mar 21, 2017 -> 12:16 PM) They just dropped money on another kid last week. I don't see why they wouldn't continue. There is a much larger incentive for a team that knows it is already out for the next two years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Sacamano Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 (edited) QUOTE (steveno89 @ Mar 21, 2017 -> 12:17 PM) If cleared before June 15th then a team that has already blown through it's spending cap will likely go the extra mile to sign Robert as well If he clears after June 15th then I could see the Sox being one of the favorites Personally, I can the the mlb intentionally dragging its feet with this until after June 15th Oh I know exactly how it works. No need explaining. Exactly why I said the Padres have to be favorites if it is during this signing period.

chitownsportsfan Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Awesome. Congrats to TA and his family and kudos to Hahn on a deal well done. Hard to see how this doesn't work out for the Sox. Even if TA never develops he's still a 1-2 WAR player. If he develops at all he could be a 4-6 WAR SS for the next 6-8 years. Nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 If it's true the Sox have no agreement in place for any of the better players, it seems obvious they are positioning themselves for a shot at this guy no matter when he is declared. If they aren't going to spend more than $300k or just slightly more the next period, if he's declared early, the 2 period penalty, in reality is just one. And if they are saving all their bonus if he is declared after 6/15, not being tied to anyone gives them more to throw at him. Obviously they would prefer after 6/15, but if it before, unless they have some unknown commitments, I can't see them not going after him. Obviously price still matters. If he goes for Moncada money, there is no chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 QUOTE (ChiliIrishHammock24 @ Mar 20, 2017 -> 05:22 PM) Based on all the other crazy cheap deals Hahn has gotten young players to sign.... 8 yrs/$60M? Wow, I was actually $9M too HIGH on my guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Y2Jimmy0 Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Mar 21, 2017 -> 12:14 PM) No way. If he is cleared in this current signing period, I'll put money on the Padres. Sox could still in this period though. they don't have any big $$ commitments for J2. The plan could easily be to sign him either way.

Chicago White Sox Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Mar 21, 2017 -> 12:28 PM) If it's true the Sox have no agreement in place for any of the better players, it seems obvious they are positioning themselves for a shot at this guy no matter when he is declared.

If he goes for Moncada money, there is no chance. I'm in agreement, I think the addition of Robert is well worth no $300k signings for two years and hopefully the Sox agree. To your point, the fact the Sox aren't linked to any of the top prospects in next year's class suggests they just might. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harfman77 Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Mar 21, 2017 -> 12:14 PM) No way. If he is cleared in this current signing period, I'll put money on the Padres. Theres going to come a point where they don't have money to spend, especially in a small market. I believe they are paying 54% of their payroll this season to players that are no longer on their roster. I don't think it would be as done of a deal as many think. The Cardinals, Braves, and Astros are all just as likely and have money to spend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beautox Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 (edited) QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Mar 21, 2017 -> 11:18 AM) Do you really think the Sox are the frontrunners for Robert? I'd certainly hope so but they're hard to read because the front office keeps things quiet for the most part. Provided he doesn't clear and is available I think its very possible the sox land him based off KW recent comments as well. I could also see moving vets before both deadlines to get comp picks from the marlins and O's if they both start out hot and intl bonus pool money from teams that are capped or indifferent to the international signing period.
