CaliSoxFanViaSWside Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 QUOTE (knightni @ Nov 9, 2015 -> 01:16 PM) Matsuda would be interesting, but he'd want too much as a 32 year old and this team isn't ready to do anything with veteran guys. He beat his previous high for HR's by 10 (35 to 25) because his team moved the fences in by 20 ft. He's won 3 gold gloves but K's 25% of the time. Since he is a FA there is no posting fee. Doubt he will cost much even in a FA class devoid of 3B options. If I had to guess I say a 2 year deal in the $6-8M range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shipps Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 10, 2015 -> 12:59 PM) Personally, I think that article is full of s***. Their ceiling isn't $130 million unless ownership is putting $100 million into their pockets. The profited $70 million in 2014, and the number 2015 will be even bigger. Exactly, they are just putting that out there as strategy in their negotiations. Why would they want everyone to know they have a lot of money and a lot of room to work with? That doesn't benefit them at all to have that out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless, they still have the largest debt load (which is what I said) and likely the most interest expense as a result (which impacts their spending). Having the 5th highest debt ratio doesn't change that fact. Edited November 12, 2015 by Chicago White Sox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
