GGajewski18 Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 They did sign him officially. 4.5 million Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackSox13 Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 I can think of one SoxTalk member that will be most unhappy about this. Depending on the money De Aza isn't a bad idea as a platoon partner for Lagares. The problem is when De Aza has to play the field, good grief is he bad.

I don't know but KW likes the guy and you know how that goes. $31M is way less than what these other guys are going to get and it fits our "window." I'm just throwing it out there, not promoting it.

I'm gonna play devil's advocate here and try and run with your theory because, well, nothing going on right now. How about the Sox trade Avi and Melky to the Mets, the Sox get Grandy for RF and sign Gordon for LF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackSox13 Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 Rosenthal: De Aza’s contract guarantees him $5.75MM in 2016, Rosenthal now reports (Twitter link). He can also earn up to $1.25MM worth of incentives, for a max payday of $7MM next season. His contract is pending a physical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
