bmags Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 Y2Jimmy0 said Colas may be stateside. I was really hoping that would be case. For him, had to be a tough choice but he would have been potentially sacrificing ever getting a mlb pay day getting so far behind the ball. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s got to be eager to get his professional career started here and I honestly think it’s a good bet for him. The quicker he can get to the show, the longer the leash they will give him at the major league level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While the extra tax on the $2.7 million could be a hit, I don't know the tax law herw,it isn't the hit Robert was looking at. I don't really follow these guys much, but since the pools have come into place, don't most these guys come over the year the got their checks?

I can’t speak to particulars, mainly was concerned because it kept happening with every Cuban prospect (Sanchez, Robert, Vera). With Colas’ age though it just seemed like an awful idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pessimist/conspiracist in me wonders if the club has an all replacement player team on the white board somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reported on it this week on twitter. He's getting $2.7 million. If he comes to the U.S., he pays taxes in both countries and it'd be a minimum of $950K. That's a pretty big dent. Sounds like it might not matter though which is good for his career and good for the club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago White Sox Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 Colas has legit star potential. I can’t express how fucking excited I am that he will be playing stateside next year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
