Quin Posted July 3 Share Posted July 3 There's such a little committed money in the coming seasons that not extending him is pathetic. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I have been saying, his situation is weird with how little he is making now vs how much he will potentially be looking for in free agency. He could be a $350-400 million pitcher in two years if he stays healthy. He could also be on his 2nd TJS. But today he is making $800k. If he is looking at himself in the Garrett Cole column, while the Sox are looking at him like Glasnow, that could easily cause an honest divide.

Tnetennba Posted July 3 Share Posted July 3 If he were further away from FA, I would think he's silly for not taking guaranteed money now. But why commit to this dumpster fire org for your prime when you are close to huge money in a few short years? For him, the benefit probably outweighs the injury risk. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falstaff Posted July 3 Share Posted July 3 Hear, Hear! Most dominating Sox lefty since Rodon in 2021. Let's start a Go Fund Me for Crochet to stay on the South Side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JR would never do it because he's a cheap ass, but if Crochet were offered a $100M/4 extension, that let's him hit free agency at 29 years old, guarantees generational wealth, but insulates him against possibly losing money if he gets hurt during his two arb years.

And he has to think of the Sox as the incompetent boob's who ruined his first 4 years and potential future earnings 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something in this range is within a solid view of market value, actually even the high end of market value. He's probably due something like $3 million and 10-12 in the next two arb years, so if you go 5/15 in the next two years, that puts the last two years at $80 million. Maybe you work him into 10/20/35/35 to get his attention, or push say $5 to $10 million to him up front as a signing bonus and go like 10/20/30/30 with a $5 million signing bonus and $5 million buy out on the last year?

SoxBlanco Posted July 3 Share Posted July 3 The most eye opening thing I learned from this thread is how little I pay attention to baseball when the White Sox suck. I started reading the names of the guys he beat out, and I’ve never heard of a single guy, other than Burnes. I literally thought they were made-up names.
