bmags Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 WElcome back MiGo Free-agent RHP Miguel Gonzalez is in agreement with the #WhiteSox on a one-year contract, sources tell The Athletic. Gonzalez had a 4.02 ERA in 268 2/3 innings with the White Sox in 2016-17.— Ken Rosenthal (@Ken_Rosenthal) January 11, 2018 <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogan873 Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 I'm okay with this. Better than Covey. Is this a minor league deal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hogan873 Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 $4.75 million. Not terrible. I feel mildly better about the 5th spot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a bad move. We need somebody to go out there and eat 150 innings in 2018, could do worse than Gonzalez. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackSox13 Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Love it. Happy to see Miguel back on the south side. Hopefully this means Covey becomes the long relief arm in the pen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Allen Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 No biggie. We know about what he is worth if he is pitching well as a flip. I'm sure he's cheap, and innings will be available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does Covey get cut? Covey's ability to be either a bad starting pitcher or bad reliever makes him valuable unfortunately. Totally fleeced the rangers getting both Forbes AND miguel for life.

Bob Sacamano Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 I think the fact that it is a MLB deal is just goodwill by the organization since they seem to like Miguel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balta1701 Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Well there's the 5th starter warm body. Cheaper than what it cost us for Holland last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha I hope this is sarcasm^ I don't see how Covey justifies a 40 man roster spot when we have many better options internally Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Sacamano Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 So the rotation on opening day is shaped up to be: Giolito, Lopez, Fulmer, Gonzalez, Shields (no specific order)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup looks about right. Feels good to have some stability. Barring injuries, MiGo probably goes to the pen when Rodon comes back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barring injuries, MiGo probably goes to the pen when Rodon comes back. Shields could be dropped to the pen also and no one would be mad. Heck, with a rotation that young I wouldn't mind going to a 6 man rotation for a few weeks either if the roster could take it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
