Sleepy Harold Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 (edited) Quote The White Sox offered Pederson a one-year contract worth at least $10 million, but he asked for more money and was turned down, according to a person with knowledge of the situation. The club filled its hole with Adam Eaton. He signed a one-year, $7-million deal with a club option for 2022 last month. It appears that Joc overplayed his hand a bit.

SoxAce Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 Heh... so Joc overplayed his hand and got burned. I don't know why, but he just seems like the type of player who would come here and absolutely suck anyways. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoxBlanco Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 4 hours ago, SoxBlanco said: I also love how people complain about choosing Eaton over Joc as if it was a draft and we could just select whichever player we want. That's not how free agency works. Like somebody mentioned, Joc might have wanted to play every day. Or maybe Joc was asking for more money a month ago and we didn't want to be left with nobody. Looks like I nailed it with this post. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way the Sox should have offered 2/20 to a guy who couldn't get more than 1/7 from anybody else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baron Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 So during the deadline we'll acquire him after Eaton gets hurt at some point. 2 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joc overplayed his hand and the White Sox went home with Adam Eaton immediately as if he wasn't also going to be around on January 29th.
