caulfield12 Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Hahn blinked. In the end, the White Sox, after nights like tonight, need Rodon a lot more than he needs them. Except it's as closer, not starting, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

witesoxfan Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 I obviously have to, but I was pretty f'ing dialed the whole time. I kept saying $6.5 mill. I guess, by Price is Right rules, I lose, but yeah. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soxfest Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Carlos Rodon and the White Sox have agreed upon a deal for more than $6.45 million, pending a physical, according to Jon Heyman of CBS Sports. The third overall selection in the 2014 MLB Draft, Rodon got more than the $5.7 million slot amount. WRAL-TV's Jeff Graley, who first broke the news of the agreement, expects Rodon to be assigned to High-A Winston-Salem. He should be a fast-moving prospect who could be in Chicago at some point in 2015. Source: Jon Heyman on Twitter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feeky Magee Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 "More than $6.45m" sounds odd. Like what is it, $6.46m? Likely to be the highest bonus given the Aiken physical drama. About $450k more than Kolek, who is off to an underwhelming start (albeit 2 games and 4 innings) in rookie ball, showing the control problems I thought I saw in his videos.

caulfield12 Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 (edited) Everyone thought Boras would go for the max allowable under the rules without penalizing the franchise. He got it. The end. Mission accomplished, another satisfied customer in the Rodon family. Even moreso now because he can also proclaim he got more money for Rodon than Aiken and Kolek despite being the 3rd pick. What would have been more interesting would be his reaction as Aiken's agent in his current predicament.

Feeky Magee Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Some careful stalking of Twitter seems to reveal that Rodon has dumped his (White Sox-supporting) girlfriend just before he sealed his bonus. Dude is ice cold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They knew what they were getting themselves into, but they also very likely got a guy who will be in the majors very soon and who has a chance to be very good. He fell to 3 due to an y number of reasons, but the Sox are incredibly happy, and in this circumstance, had no problem whatsoever going over slot, but also wanted to save as much as they could. There was never any rush to get him under contract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I checked and they no longer follow each other, plus she kind of vaguely refers to a dumping/being heartbroken in some tweets. I need to get a life.

The Sir Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS. Now, having said that, I really can't believe there are people who seem upset that we won't sign the 14th round pick. Seriously? We just signed the third overall pick, who was a consensus number one at various times. Screw de Oca! The high schooler who already had TJS and wants seven figures, supposedly? What the hell ever. If he does well in college, draft him in 2017. But I guarantee he doesn't go number three overall and if either of these guys is a mainstay in Major League Baseball eight years from now, I sure aint putting my money on Bryce Montes de Oca. Also, I'm really glad that the couple of people who wanted de Oca mentioned in the Rodon talks were not actually involved. Who actually thinks that Carlos Rodon cares what the 14th round pick wants? Or that he even should care? He's third overall! Don't insult by mentioning some dude drafted in a round that probably won't ever produce a MLB player! This is awesome news. Period. Bryce Montes de Oca was a consolation prize if Rodon didn't sign, and a crappy one at that. Don't wreck your mood by lamenting him getting away. He's nobody.

And now I regret tweeting at her this afternoon asking if "her boy" was coming to Chicago tonight to sign. Whoops! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
