Kalapse Posted July 3, 2005 Share Posted July 3, 2005 QUOTE(nitetrain8601 @ Jul 3, 2005 -> 11:19 AM) The White Sox will probably give him a new contract over the offseason and forget about arbitration. He'll get his 3 year deal at the end of the season. No doubt the Sox would be willing to sign Garland to a 3-year contract. The question is would Garland except such a contract? I say he'd rather go to arbitration and take a one year deal worth whatever the arbitrator feels he's worth. Didn't an arbitrator give Ben Davis $1mil last offseason?

You're right we did sign Ben Davis and at the time the team thought he was going to be the primary catcher. He made $1.4 mil last year so he actually got a pay cut.

CaliSoxFanViaSWside Posted July 3, 2005 Share Posted July 3, 2005 5 yrs $50 million sounds good . Yea I know Reinsdorf doesnt like doing more then 3 yrs on a pitcher. He should make an exception here . Jon has no history of arm problems and is entering prime pitching years. If the Sox are serious about all this "family stuff" (i.e. coaches who are all ex -sox) then prove it and give Garland and for that matter Buehrle 5 yr deals.

GoodAsGould Posted July 3, 2005 Share Posted July 3, 2005 maybe go to arbitration and from arbitration work on a contract extension. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngelasDaddy0427 Posted July 3, 2005 Share Posted July 3, 2005 The sox would be fools to not resign Garland. KW needs to get the deal done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
