chitownsportsfan Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 1 hour ago, Look at Ray Ray Run said: Behind. Lol. You are b****ing about losing Marcus Semien and Omar Navarez. It's nonsense. when did Ramirez have his last year over 3.5 WAR? Because that's the last time a Sox SS was worth what Marcus was last year. Whatever, it's a middling move but FFS they've made a lot of "middling" moves the last decade, especially wrt to infielders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneDog847 Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 36 minutes ago, Chicago White Sox said: I honestly think he’s Rick Hahn’s son or Don Cooper...one of the two. LMAO. I"ll go with Mark Salas. He's the same dude who kept insisting that the Padres weren't a real threat for Machado because of some debt obligations on Petco Park. Either Ron Fowler never read his memo or Manny agreed to play for 300 million dollars of monopoly money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joejoesox Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 (edited) imo this was a smart move on Eloys part, he knows he probably is who he defensively and all-bat players are becoming less important nearing their 30s I like the two team options for the Sox also Edited March 21, 2019 by joesaiditstrue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OneDog847 Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 Now that Eloy has signed on the dotted line, who else from the future "core" should the Sox lock up? Dylan Cease seems to make the most sense if he dominants at Charlotte this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless they can buy low on Moncada, I don’t think there’s anyone worth it right now. Edited March 21, 2019 by mqr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 Mike Trout wasn't extended until after two year. Unless the Cease family was in financial peril, they'd be unlikely to agree to an Astros level underpay like Jon Singleton ($10 million/5 years).

But there’s significantly more risk with him then anyone they’ve done this with as he’s already had elbow surgery. I don’t see him taking a deal I would be willing to give him Edited March 21, 2019 by mqr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panerista Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 That’s a great deal. Those two years would be very expensive if he turns out as good as the experts think he can be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitesoxa6 Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 Where there be a press conference today regarding the extension? We should know if he’s on the Opening Day roster when that is held. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BackDoorBreach Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 This makes a lot more sense than 100 million with only 1 year of FA control. Still would have liked to take 2 FA years but this is still a good deal for both sides. He's going to be starting with the big club now at least.

wrathofhahn Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 (edited) 14 hours ago, Look at Ray Ray Run said: It's not high at all. They just signed him for 8 years and 77 million. His 2 FA years alone, if he pans out, could be worth 60+ million. You just said the key words if he pans out. He hasn't had a ML at bat yet. Like I said it high and almost double what players have got in the past under similar deals but if he is really good it doesn't matter but if we are giving him so much more money upfront I would have hoped to have gotten more then one FA option year. At least two. Edited March 21, 2019 by wrathofhahn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
