fathom Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 QUOTE (WhiteSoxLifer @ Jan 12, 2018 -> 07:12 PM) Sources: #WhiteSox, Jose Abreu settle at $13 million, avoiding arbitration. https://twitter.com/RobertMurrayFRS/status/...876378747645953 That seems very low. Makes me think an extension is in the works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrathofhahn Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 MLBTR had him projected at 17.9 strange he would agree to such a below the line contract without going to ARB. It will definitely cost him next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also I don't think Jose really cares much about projected contracts, considering where he's coming from. The projected contracts are based off of what similar players have done and got paid. Why wouldn't he and his agent care? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmags Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 This is a nice 5 million dollar gift for the white sox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 It seems Jose risked a heck of a lot opting into arb if he is only making $1.5 million more than he would have after a pretty big season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lillian Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 How does this affect the possibility of the Sox trading him? He now has a very attractive contract, for this year, but it would be a little disloyal to trade him, now that he has agreed to take less than he could have gotten, in arbitration. I hope that he is extended, but just wondered about the implications of this year's contract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chitownsportsfan Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 I'm not complaining but man the players really need to get their s*** together in the next CBA negotiations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No kidding. Obviously hindsight 20/20 but the trade off of getting rid of the 1st round compensation in return for a harder luxury tax was not worth it. The protected players are still not getting signed and...nobody is getting signed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elrockinMT Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 Do you think maybe Jose is a great team player and wants to be with the Sox? $13M is a lot of money and building a winning ball club includes a player like Abreu. I have to believe an extension is very possible because the the Sox want to keep him too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not exactly sure how his prior contract plays into the arbitration calculations. It plays deeply because usually there are soft limits on how much of a raise a player gets year to year. I don't have the numbers infront of me but MLBTR had him receiving a 6 million dollar raise this year the fact he got 2 million will affect the formula and how much money he'll get next year. So yeah instead of getting 40 million over the next two. He'll probably at best get 30 million. Makes it more likely he either signs an extension or moved.

oldsox Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Blackmon got $14mm from Rockies, which is in line with Abreu's number, but Donaldson got $23mm, which is not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 I think he deserves 16 million this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
