They'll continue to negotiate I know, but previous extensions bought out arbitration years. I was hoping they could do the same since they were at the table.

Chicago White Sox Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Locking up Shark would put our rotation in great shape for the next 5 to 6 years. Assuming it was a 5 year extension, we'd basically have the core of our rotation locked up through 2019/2020. Sale - 2019 Quintana - 2020 Shark - 2020 Rodon - 2020/2021 Say Shark gets $21M a season, we're talking about a total commitment of about $50M for those guys in 2019 and even less every year before then. That's f***ing insanity and a credit to the job Rick Hahn has done locking guys up early and adding cost certainty to the payroll going forward. On top of that, Montas & Danish are probably only a year or two away, with Spencer Adams not far behind them if you believe he's as advanced for his age as his peripherals suggest. Honestly, lock up Shark and this is the best shape our rotation has been in in my entire lifetime as a Sox fan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, lock up Shark and this is the best shape our rotation has been in in my entire lifetime as a Sox fan. Playing arm chair GM if folks are worried about the number of years, how about a progressively increasing AAV (4 year max extension) starting at 22M in 2016? The rest of the years could go like this: 2017: 23 M 2018: 24 M 2019: 25 M It works out to a 4 year 94 M extension which is solid by market standards if Shark puts up anything like he did last year with a few more wins and less losses.

Could be the agent just playing hardball with the media. Well, looking at the numbers he supposedly rejected a 5 yr 85M extension offer from the North Siders so anything the FO offers has to be very near to or top 100M. But I would qualify that on his performance at the time where the best scenario would occur which is right after the ASB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Sacamano Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 I feel I'd rather sign him to an extension rather than giving out more money to the other 6-7 guys available next off-season along with giving away our potential first round draft pick. Sign guys now while it is supposedly a weaker draft class and draft great in 2016. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sign guys now while it is supposedly a weaker draft class and draft great in 2016. I agree with this. This draft class is pretty weak. Not so sure about 16 but considering we should be out of the bottom 10 next year. Go in with a rotation of Sale, Samardzija, Quintana, Rodon and FA/rookie, and that's a great rotation.

GreenSox Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Feb 1, 2015 -> 10:50 AM) Jim Duquette @Jim_Duquette 24s24 seconds ago The agent for Jeff Samardjia, Mark Rodgers, told us "we owe to CWS to consider an offer" on a long term contract but ...realistically we Need to see " how it is " with CWS for a half a season, before deciding on whether to stay @MLBNetworkRadio I think that's reasonable- probably a good idea for both sides. On the subject, I guess there is an argument for, say, signing Shields now and letting Samardzija go after the season. Shields would cost a 4th in 2015, but we'd gain a 1/2 sandwich in 2016. But that's probably over-thinking it. And I am not a huge Shields guy anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soxfest Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 I can see a deal come July with Jeff. I am all for it we need a stud right handed starter. Moving Danks would be nice this summer also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackSox13 Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Samardzija has remained consistent with his words in that he wants to hit FA. This is his one chance to fully cash in on that opportunity and why I did not like the idea of trading for him in the first place. That said, I still look forward to watching him pitch for the sox this upcoming season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK I get Condor is Sale and Shark is Samardzija and Quetzecoatl is Quintana is that Pterodactyl represents the Monster Rodan (Rodon) but the last 2 have me stumped.
