they block that ball while our guys can’t catch a baseball 

We see so many good defensive plays against us. Then we we our guys not catching routine balls. It's so infuriating.

So they’re going to have to pay him 10 million next year, assuming he doesn’t opt-out?

Plus those incentives for plate appearances.  That's the most reasonable way to interpret it.  On a current pace for 457.

This twit is from June 4 th.  Not valid anymore.

He continues to say it, since the loss column is less than the number of games back they are overall.

Can anyone confirm the Sox can just buy him out for 5 million after this year 

No, it's a player opt out ($5M and 2023 FA or $10M Player Option). The White Sox have no say.

In addition, the Sox will have to pay more if he continues to play regularly

A.J. Pollock

  • 23:$10M player option ($5M buyout)
  • 2023 option increases $1M each for 400, 450, 500, 550, 600 plate appearances in 2022
  • 2023 option increases $1M per point based on finish in 2019-22 MVP voting, with 5 points for first place, 3 points for second-fifth place, and 1 point for sixth-10th place :D
  • with 1,000 PA in 2020-21 or 1,450 PA in 2019-21, Pollock may opt out of contract after 2021 season and receive $5M buyout
  • assignment bonus: $1.5M for each trade

They should trade him no matter what in the next month then, even though I doubt teams would take that contract on.

He also can get more depending on where he finishes in MVP voting.
