If you think Danks has been bad, Masterson has been awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you think Danks has been bad, Masterson has been awful. One year plus option? Maybe Coop can fix him and get him back on track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago White Sox Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Random question, but now that Masterson has been traded, the Cardinals can't receive draft compensation if he signs with another team next year correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NO they do not get comp picks if he leaves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenSox Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Wouldn't we have taken that prospect for danks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cabiness42 Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 NO they do not get comp picks if he leaves. Probably not much of a chance they'd make him a qualifying offer anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably not, but who knows how he pitches down the stretch. His value could change a lot between now and the offseason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Masterson will be a true free agent without compensation attached now. He's a guy that the White Sox could realistically sign without giving up a draft pick.

Jake Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 There's no way the Indians would have made him a QO anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigHurt3515 Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 I think we can get a similar return for Danks or maybe better if we take some salary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or Linebrink. But 90% of the time, they would rather save the money and forgo the prospects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Masterson on a one year deal at ~$14M is a decent gamble to return to form, and if he declines you get a shot at a first round pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But 90% of the time, they would rather save the money and forgo the prospects. To be fair though, the Sox have traditionally pushed the upper limits of the payroll as well. Since spending has been scaled back, it is conceivable that there is money to send along in the right deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
