He isn't being paid 6m to be a utility guy when we are on a tight budget. Anything over say 12-13= starter. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quin Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 Leury Garcia may end up being one of the longest tenured White Sox ever and that alone is a hysterical thought to me. 3 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Look at Ray Ray Run Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 2 minutes ago, Chicago White Sox said: I was going to say $18M was projection, but either way gross as fuck. classic white sox. fill a hole with a player who is replaceable by a lot of minimum salaried players and give the player 6-7 million a year as one of their acquisitions. this is how they allocate wages. I wouldn't even hate Garcia at 1 year, maybe with a 2nd year option... but giving him 3 guaranteed years is wild. He was fine last year, homer was great so I give him a pass somewhat, but he's not a good player. His entire career tells us that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hogan873 Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 Leury is quite valuable as a utility player. He can play every OF position and just about every IF position. As long as he continues to be used as a super sub, I'm fine with having him back. The 3-year deal is a bit unexpected, but as long as the $ is lower, I'm fine with this.

Chicago White Sox Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 2 minutes ago, fathom said: I don’t think that’s true about RF I’m just saying that’s the plan right now. He is not intended to be the starting 2B and I doubt this stops us from adding a RF, but definitely worries me how big of signing we’re going to make if we just spend $6M to $7M on a utility guy. Hopefully I’m wrong and this will be on top of adding legit players elsewhere, but this stinks of Tony La Russa heavily influencing roster decisions and overvaluing a role player when we have bigger needs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because that's what he's been If by starting 331 games over 9 seasons is a starter for you, then sure. This move was obviously going to happen. Sox like Leury - Leury loves the Sox. He was always coming back. I was hoping more in the 2/$8M range. 3/$20M would be kind of gross, but still not large dollars. Leury is useful to have around. I'd much rather him cover the IF for a couple weeks when Yoan/TA/future 2B hit the IL than Mendick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capn12 Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 Leury was at 3.5 mil this past season, this deal is going to be 3/14-16 I would think (and hope). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
