BlackSox13 Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 Well, there's an open spot on the Kanny roster now. Wonder if Robert starts there. With the pitching depth the Sox have, trading Katz for bonus slots is a smart move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quin Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 Imagine if they did this, then failed to sign Robert. Suddenly Katz would become the next premier arm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anything the Sox will be dealing away 2018 INTL cap space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anything the Sox will be dealing away 2018 INTL cap space. How much did Sox sign their lower tier prospects for in years past? I'm wondering if there are teams that will sign the more interesting next tier names for slightly over $300k to beat out the penalizing teams.

Pretty sure it ranges all over, be definitely a good chunk under $300k. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
