BobDylan Posted July 6, 2004 Share Posted July 6, 2004 White Sox Resign Garcia WSC News - By Mike Matha - 6/6/04 Sox sign Garcia to contract extension until 2007 The Chicago White Sox and starting pitcher Freddy Garcia have come to terms on a contract that extends his stay with the White Sox until 2007. Garcia is slated to make 27 million over three years. The contract is set where in 2005 he’ll make 8 million, in 2006 he’ll make 9 million and in 2007, the final year of his contract, he’ll make 10 million. Garcia is 1-0 with the White Sox, and carries an overall 5-7 record throughout 2004. The White Sox acquired Garcia in a deal that sent catcher Miguel Olivo, top prospect Jeremy Reed and prospect Michael Morse. He is a career 77-50 with a 3.90 ERA, and spent five full seasons in Seattle before being traded to the White Sox. The new contract is a pay raise for Garcia, who makes 6.875 million this season.

Yoda Posted July 6, 2004 Share Posted July 6, 2004 Once again, Welcome to Chicago Freddy! This is surely big news for the White Sox and the fans. Today, Garcia makes his debut at the Cell in black and white. Our pitching rotation looks solid and we are playoff competitors. 2004 is our year and we have to give KW credit for what he’s done to help the Sox. Thank you Kenny!

greasywheels121 Posted July 6, 2004 Share Posted July 6, 2004 The huge thing is, with that kind of staff for the next few years, it doesn't look like we'll be unloading the team anytime soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wedge Posted July 6, 2004 Share Posted July 6, 2004 The huge thing is, with that kind of staff for the next few years, it doesn't look like we'll be unloading the team anytime soon. Yeah, if we can get another young, good starter around these parts, then this team will have a great rotation for a few years. Maybe Garland or Diaz can complete our own "Big 3" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAVVY18 Posted July 6, 2004 Share Posted July 6, 2004 Great to know that we didn't lose Olivo for a rent-a-player. Kudos to KW! Now let's hope he doesn't get complacent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IlliniKrush Posted July 6, 2004 Share Posted July 6, 2004 I'm pumped The Cell should be absolutely rocking tonight, this is a real shot in the arm for the fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwerty Posted July 6, 2004 Share Posted July 6, 2004 Great to know that we didn't lose Olivo for a rent-a-player. Kudos to KW! Now let's hope he doesn't get complacent. If we would have lost him for a rent a player, keny williams would most likely not have a job come next year. But now that he is signed his job is safe imo.

bulokis Posted July 6, 2004 Share Posted July 6, 2004 Good thing Freddy has signed with us already. We do not need to speculate whether he is gonna be with us next year or not. We'll have a pitching staff that can compete now and for a couple of more years to come. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
