WBWSF Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 The Sun Times had a list of MLB team payrolls for 2018 in todays paper. The White Sox were listed as being 28th with a team payroll of $73 million dollars. Obviously they can spend some money if they want to. We shall see if they actually do that.

Build the team internally and plug the holes with FA money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 Charlie Blackmon signed an extension with Rockies...was the #4/5 target on a number of FA shopping lists. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Mar 30, 2018 -> 02:19 PM) Avi was an above average defender during 2017 by most metrics. It is why I have become much more pro Avi. In the past, Avi was so freaking bad defensively, he'd have to mash to be somewhat serviceable. Now he's become respectable in the field, which means if he hits well, you really get a quality player. One thing about Avi is, he has a phenomenal work ethic. I'm a believer in Avi at this point (amazing since I was one of his biggest detractors a few years back). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How is the teams payroll even that high? Shields obviously is a huge part of that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Yolmer was willing to sign a contract that averaged 6M per year I'd say sign him yesterday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 https://sports.yahoo.com/charlie-blackmons-...-052508364.html How the Blackmon deal will affect the FA market and early extensions...also good the Twins couldnt lock up their youngsters. Puts Avi and Abreu back even more into play for the Sox, especially Jose due to age and defense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kwolf68 Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 QUOTE (Dam8610 @ Mar 29, 2018 -> 03:37 PM) I think the one they should try extending now is Rodon. His talent is phenomenal and he has ace potential, but he has so much uncertainty to him right now. I know he's a Boras client, but this might be a time you could get him to agree to a team friendly extension in exchange for some certainty to his future. AMEN! I have watched baseball since the 1970s and let me tell you Carlos Rodon is the first man I've ever seen throw a slider that makes me think of Steve Carlton. You keep people like that if at all possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmags Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 For players like Sanchez/Garcia, at the moment I'm not that worried about an adventure on the market for them. I think when they are FAs we will have a better idea what demand for their positions we have (is Sanchez a starter or a super sub? Is Garcia an all star or just a fine RFer?) and knowledge about where we need to spend our money. I think we could easily end up in a situation with Garcia that players like Moustakas saw, they get lighter market than expecting, and decide to take more certainty with the previous team.

oldsox Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 Of course, we should extend Avi and Jose. Considering all the bone headed mistakes this franchise has made, so what if we overpay slightly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Similar ages (in two years). One is LH. Moustakas with more hype due to his original draft position and World Series performances. Both known more for offense than defense, and carry concerns about weight/body issues going into their 30?€™s. A lot depends on Garcia maintaining a stellar OBP and overcoming the ?€œgood luck/unrepeatable?€? BABIP tag. Garcia needs to bump homers into 25-35 range.
