Chicago White Sox Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 So is this the largest free agent contract of the offseason? I thought I saw that mentioned somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably $5m over 3y or $1M over 15y, the new Bobby Bonilla! They just signed a reliever for the highest AAV and people still take shots. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiSox59 Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 Awesome for the bullpen! Man that’s a big deal. If I’m reading this right, it’s basically a 4/$54M due to the buyout and option being the same price. Still a lot, but that makes it feel a little better!

Yeah, credit where credit is due, as this is the highest AAV for a closer ever, regardless of the deferred money. Jerry hasn't set the market on anyone since Belle in '96. I thought I saw a lot of smoke by the foodies on a Giolito extension as well. I'd imagine that would be similar in dollars to Moncada.

EvilJester99 Posted January 12, 2021 Author Share Posted January 12, 2021 Now sign Bauer!! Yeah not likely but would be a hell of a capper.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I’m not taking a shot, I just found it fascinating that they worked the “we can pay later” option in there and possibly keep the “Bobby Bonilla” plan alive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thxfrthmmrs Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 Marshall/Foster/Frye/Heuer/Bummer/Hendricks, add Crochet in September/playoffs. Name a better bullpen, go. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wisebri224 Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 3 inning eaters as starters. One more starter. With this much bullpen depth they seriously could have #4 and 5 go 5 and just leaving it to the pen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chw42 Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 Add another starter like Quintana or Richards and it'll be one hell of an off-season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
