ChiSox59 Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 MLB deal is interesting - assume that means Sox need to carry him on 40 man, right? Doesn't look like he has pitched in a couple years after defecting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't look like he has pitched in a couple years after defecting. I assume he’d need a 40 man spot since it’s an MLB deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Kids Can Play Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 Sounds good, I just hope we don't screw him up. It would be more reassuring if we knew the Sox had the right coaches down in the minors to develop his full potential like the good winning organizations do with pitchers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiSox59 Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 (edited) Since the catch all got deleted, also looks like Sox signed Lucas Farrell to milb deal today per their transactions page. Has 69 career MLB appearances with Rangers, Cubs, Reds, Twins and Royals over the last half decade. Has appeared in MLB every season since 2017.

Buehrle>Wood Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 Already our best reliever. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YouCanPutItOnTheBoardYES! Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 They only have for him 2 years then? He doesn’t have the full 6 years of control or whatever it usually is? Kind of a strange contract structure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they feel if things don't work out everyone of the "core" group will either be traded or will have left in free agency in two years?

It’s a 2 year guaranteed deal, but I believe he’d still be under team control with only 2 years of service time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn’t sure how his deal would work as to sending him to Charlotte or AZ to tune up or what. Good to know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcq Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 After all that rowing he should have a good fastball. I have yet to concede that the World Series goes through Havana or even Cien Fuegos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LittleHurtCG Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 Is this dude any good? I suppose he will be in the bullpen later this Summer and we will find out soon enough! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Y2Jimmy0 Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 I don’t think the big league deal part is true. My guess is a minors deal with a $2 million bonus. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 Strange type of deal for someone who a team STRONGLY believes has the ability to be an impact talent at the major league level. Not even Velasquez money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wegner Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 Sounds a bit pricey to cover the extra pitcher for the DH tomorrow, but ok. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
