What if the Sox offer him 5/125 now and he waits for the Mets they drag and then have no interest in him ? Or more info comes out about the amount of games or lack of fans for next year so teams like the Sox bow out? But I agree he will probably want to hear from them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you do that, it'll get done. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would hope if that is their guy, they would offer him a fair but nice contract that he just jumps on. This is probably the only off season where players don’t try to milk every last cent and just jump on fair contracts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing the White Sox do would shock me, but I'd be more than a little surprised if they feel confident they can afford that right now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually think FA will move fast because players know teams are not spending much money.. So they gotta take a good offer once given one.

Balta1701 Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 If the White Sox are doing that where they don’t yet know they have the money to add their needed pitching, well they better be ready to take several seasons of losses because of that contract as they’re all but guaranteeing it. Especially with how it looks right now. They better have lots of liquid cash available to cover it. They might, this could just be payback for 3 cheap seasons.

ChiSoxFanMike Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 I would rather have the Sox put all their financial resources into getting Bauer but maybe they don’t think it’s likely that they will be able to get him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 4 years would be great for Springer, but I would be shocked if he doesnt get 5 years, unless he gets an opt out in that 4 year deal. In big time FA you always have to go 1 year longer than you should to secure the deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 A funny/frustrating wrinkle in the pursuit for Springer is that he doesn't have any social media. It takes half of the fun out of it not being able to obsess over every tweet/like/picture posted and try to connect dots. ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just feel like it’s not the same. A 4 year deal for $100 million or so for Springer is a better play than getting in a bidding war for Bauer. Makes sense to me. Just my opinion though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In big time FA you always have to go 1 year longer than you should to secure the deal. I fully agree, but perhaps this one year will be the exception? That being said, I’d be shocked if he took less than $100M guaranteed under any scenario. Edited November 14, 2020 by Chicago White Sox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just my opinion though Realistically how much more money would Bauer get than Springer? Unless it’s a ridiculous amount more, I’d rather just go after him.
