Jnooch Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 I know its been talked about for over a year; but is signing Leury Garcia to a 3 yr./ 16.5 million dollar contract a fireable offense. I didnt dream this up this morning …. Ive been pounding the table since the day it was signed. Why 3 years?….Hanh or whoever authorized this should be held accountable! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reiks12 Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 The rumor is TLR told Jerry to sign Leury at all costs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiSox59 Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 (edited) The Leury Garcia deal - while bad - is so overplayed by Sox fans. $5M AAV in literally micenuts for an MLB org. We're talking about like 2.5% of the payroll. Edited December 16, 2022 by ChiSox59 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're talking about like 3% of the payroll. The issue is you have a guaranteed contract for a role and production that is easily turned over, locking him into the roster, rather than having the option of cheaply replacing him with a potentially better player. He was literally the worst player in baseball last year. If they had signed him for one year 5.5 million, it wouldn’t have been that big of deal. Now we’re stuck with him 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ducksnort Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 If Leury is played like the super sub that he is, then he might live up to the contract over the next couple years. He can't be played as a starter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texsox Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 Literally last off season people were arguing for higher paychecks for players. At 5 mil a year he's at what the minimum salary should be unless you want owners to make insane profits. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GREEDY Posted December 17, 2022 Share Posted December 17, 2022 Owners were splashing money prior to the CBA negotiations. Several of the deals felt like good faith olive branches to me. One of the last contracts, right at the wire was Leury's. Jerry's idea of impressing the union was giving a journeyman utility player an extra year or two. Kind of humorous. The money should have gone to an Abreu extension... and I think that not getting done was the end of the relationship. But alas, nothing to see here in my opinion. I personally don't count Leury's money against any pseudo budget calculations. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s the kind of production that pays to get off the roster. 200k may be entry pay for an aeronautical engineer but that doesn’t mean they’ve got to pay me that, seeing as I don’t qualify and all 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
