Balta1701 Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 1 hour ago, caulfield12 said: Well, the point remains it’s one of the only comps for Vaughn for a young 1B receiving an early extension. It’s just not that common to take a risk at that particular position. I doubt you can find that many comps for Eloys deal or Roberts deal either. Very few teams are in a spot where this type of extension before they play makes sense, and a number of players (Boras clients) will never sign them. That doesn’t change it having been a good move for this franchise. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They put him on roster, don't have to play service time games if they buy out a year or two (possible options), spring training is over and no games or other news today, they have agreed to extensions with other young players prior to season starting, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoYoIsMyHero Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 Great now I'm hyped for a Gio extension when it'll be like Heuer or Marshall if there is one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCalChiSox Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 Gio would be a much bigger deal than Vaughn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quickman Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 Keeping Vaughn on the roster in April and not getting the extra year is not very Whitesox ish. Personally, I am torn about losing that extra year for 1 month of April baseball. From a business standpoint I am not sure it’s very smart. Just my 2 cents.

Sarava Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 IMO it's too early to lock up Vaughn. How about letting him dominate in the minors first? Giolito- yes he needs to be extended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t say granting extensions to anyone but Verlander has been all that wise...and even Justin has had his ups and downs after hitting age 30. It’s not like Lynn has the best physical conditioning in the world, but it has worked for him so far. That said, spending $25-50 million on Lynn instead of investing it into Giolito doesn’t seem like the kind of move most championship teams make. Maybe the Cardinals can get away with it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxBlanco Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 Maybe the good news isn't extension related at all. What else could it be? Eloy related? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He already said Eloy might be a month ahead of the original timetable, ie 4-5 months rather than 5-6, so its not that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The burners are comparing Vaughn to Cease's negotiations...in 2019 Sox thought they had Cease "done" and he backed out. Then he tried to re-engage last year and Sox balked. So maybe third time was the lucky charm? These burners tend to be vague but drop little clues so I thought they might be doing it with Cease.

Cease would be an interesting gamble at the right price, but I’m guessing they’d rather wait and see that some of his offseason work has paid off first.
