Princess Dye Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 Ken Rosenthal @Ken_Rosenthal · 7s #WhiteSox Gold Glove 2B Yolmer Sánchez on outright waivers, sources tell The Athletic. Loomed as non-tender candidate with @mlbtraderumors projecting him to earn $6.2M in arbitration. Available to any team in waiver process. CWS clears 40-man roster spot.

Sleepy Harold Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 Smell ya Yolmer, you were a fun-bad player on some bad teams. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrankinSox Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 Opens up a spot on the 40 man. Are we about to see a signing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiSox59 Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 Technically this isn't being non-tendered, he is being played on out-right waivers. Basically means no one offered anything for him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmags Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 He'll be back I'm guessing. So weird to me how arb has made guys like yolmer and bullpen arms really expensive compared to starting pitchers who come off pretty cheap through their control years.

ChiSox59 Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 But don't worry everyone, $14M will be the going rate for a utility infield in within 24 months! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thxfrthmmrs Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 For 2/$6M I'd bring him back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiSox59 Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 This must be roster space motivated, otherwise I am struggling to figure out what the benefit to outrighting him today is. Non-tender deadline is still a week from today, so unless the Sox think they need the roster spot like....today...not sure why you make this move today. Obviously they know at this point Yolmer didn't have any trade value, but still seems like interesting timing. Maybe a favor to Yolmer? This way if a team claims him, they owe him his final year of arb as opposed to being a FA and likely getting like half his projected arb? Just brainstorming on what the reasoning for making this move today might be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it’s because the Sox have an agreement in place with Wheeler and they needed a roster spot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's on outright waivers, so he'd technically have to clear those before the Sox could offer him a deal. I think this means Yolmer is as good as gone. If there was mutual interest in a deal like that, this move wouldn't be necessary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
