As of right now before seeing the Schwarber deal, Spotrac has them at $176 mill for the luxury tax number. Why not both? Edit: so just under $20 mill a year (we'll just round up). So $196 mill luxury tax number. Edited March 16, 2022 by Bob Sacamano Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As always on Soxtalk this contract will be something the white Sox should have done and why didn't they and this guy would have been perfect and now let's move on to the next player who is also perfect and why didn't we sign them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about at least one offseason signing the majority of fans are at least optimistic if not happy about? Baseball is an entertainment business, after all. What’s the answer from Sox fans to Russell Crowe’s question in Gladiator. ”Are you not entertained?” Well, perhaps not in the way Hahn originally intended.

Balta1701 Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 Well,if there’s no market for these outfielders then that’s a strange deal. I wonder if this is the floodgates going. 2 gone quickly and Oakland’s position players traded, Boston and LA haven’t spent that new tax space yet, now there might be fewer outfielders than interested teams, so patience might mean you get no one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And paying elite closers has never been the White Sox way…and it still hasn’t really paid off. And now we have two. I would guess the excitement with Grandal was maybe 60/40 in for, with Fathom being especially concerned about his defense and the fact he was essentially benched by the Dodgers in the post-season due to numerous lapses that haven’t ever shown up in his brief Sox career. But yeah, it figures somewhat flawed guys like Grandal or Conforto would be the biggest contracts in franchise history, rather than an elite superstar.

He's incredibly confident at the plate. His swing is locked in and he found his approach.

SoCalChiSox Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 Damn. One savage gone. Suzuki at 70 and Schwarber at 80 means Confotto at like 120. We will no doubt tap out at this price. Joc comin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've really come around on Schwarber in the last 12 months or so; definitely agree that he appears to have found an approach that works for him, is attacking his pitch more often. Think he has a big 4 years under this deal. Has a chance to be a 950 OPS player every year. Sox should have pushed for this given that they have no DH.

Colome's Hat Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 Curious to see how the universal DH rule affects Conforto. I honestly think it could hurt his market which could help the White Sox in signing him. I like the idea of a platoon of Vaughn and Sheets at DH with Conforto in Right Field. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
