soxfan49 Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 I think of all possible internal extensions- Moncada, Jimenez, Kopech, Robert down the line- Cease is the most risky. Just my opinion but we'll see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtySox Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 (edited) Yes please. The sooner this gets done the sooner the call-up will be. Edited April 5, 2019 by DirtySox 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmags Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 I would be pretty attracted to doing one if I was Dylan. Already one TJS, get those 6 years guaranteed and trade off later free agency. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poppysox Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 (edited) Extensions are the way to go. The sooner these guys sign up for these...the sooner we will see them in Chicago. Player, agents and management all know the situation. When management is sold on a player being ready they should get it done.

JUSTgottaBELIEVE Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 Yes, lock him up, lock him up. Let’s lock up Yoan and Kopech next. How awesome it would be to have the entire core controlled thru 2025 minimum. And no, I’m not ready to extend Gio and Lopez yet but Rodon would be intriguing despite the injury potential. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some guys like Eloy are good bets before they play a major league game - while I'm glad we waited to see on Moncada. Cease and Madrigal perhaps Robert might fall into the Eloy grouping. I'm with you on the wait and see on Gio & Lopez. Sox management has been good on this point. Sale, Q, Engle & Anderson were all plus deals long term. Only Danks was a poor idea. Pretty good odds.

Seriously doubt Rodon's agent would agree to any extensions especially if he were to stay healthy. Edited April 6, 2019 by Lip Man 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago White Sox Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 36 minutes ago, Harper2Sox said: To make fans less mad about the offseason — “The money will be spent.” Just seems kind of the dumb for the org’s mouthpiece to come out and say this when it sounds like nothing will ultimately happen here (at least not now). As for the idea in general, I’m somewhat mixed on this. For a pitcher with the risk profile Cease has and having never made a single major league appearance, I’d want to buy at least two free agent year and preferably three. I’d also expect the fixed commitment to be fairly reasonable for this to make any sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarava Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 I wouldnt lock up a pitcher that hasn't debuted yet. That's just dumb. And I love Cease's potential. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that’s just the initial thought anybody has when reading this. The Sox have to be operating a layer or two deeper than this. Think more along the lines of this: ”Dylan, we like you and your potential. You know anything can happen anytime to a pitcher so we’re offering you some life-changing money now that will secure your family and the next generations if invested wisely. In exchange we want some suuuuuper cheap years and added control. Think about it, no pressure.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So much more nervous about doing that for a pitcher than for a hitter. Dominate AAA for a few months and maybe I'm more flexible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wrathofhahn Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 Locking up position players who haven't played is risky enough. A Pitcher? We have him for 7 years and a ton can happen including an arm injury it would have to be extremely team friendly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
