ChiSox59 Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 Texas also has no state income tax, so the Sox could have been the higher bidder and still been behind Texas, 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty of Sox fans have posted on this forum and twitter angrily towards Hahn spending time with the media. Sorry that offends you that I pointed that out that I find it weird.

Income tax actually might matter to someone like Lyles at his price point. Texas has none. Texas also may have guaranteed him a starting spot, which was something the Sox maybe couldn't have done for the duration of the contract.

In Lyles‘ case probably because the Rangers have a clear path for him to be in the rotation all year while the Sox don’t. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soxfan3530 Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 (edited) If the Rockies are looking to rebuild, what kind of package would a Gray and Dahl combo command? I assume at least 2 of Vaughn, Madrigal, Dunning with some other high-upside flyers? Edited December 10, 2019 by soxfan3530 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmags Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 31 minutes ago, ChiSox59 said: I am moreso concerned that the Sox were actually interested in Jordan Lyles than the fact that he took a $1M or whatever less to play elsewhere. Why? As a second pitcher and his age I think he's as likely as any to be one of the more productive low-tier signings this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
