Well, guess we don't need to worry about Colome now.

There was a lot of smoke for this signing. He's been really good. Let's see how many years. Hopefully only 3.

Seeing 3 years $54M with an option.

Mark Feinsand from MLB Network is saying 3 years, with a 4th year club option. $54 million guaranteed.

All over twitter with guys like Rosenthal confirming. 3 years, option for 4th, 54M guaranteed. Must be a big buyout.

Hell yes. The White Sox are about to own the city.

This is so not a white Sox move and I love it. Normally we would bring back the regression candidate coming off the good year on the cheap.

love it

Passan saying he’ll make $39 million over the 3 years. The 4th year is $15 million whether they pick-up the option or it’s a buyout. If it’s a buyout, the money is spread out.

Best bullpen in the majors?

The back end of the pen could be unbelievable come playoff time with Hendriks, Bummer, Heuer, and Crochet and Kopech possibly joining then. Filthy.

Best bullpen in the majors?

God please don't let this turn into Power Arms part 2. Honestly I'm not too familiar with him other than his meltdown in game 2 and then him nailing down in game 3. Cautiously excited.

Ahem ... David Robertson.

13 million... isn’t ... that ... bad. Could mean another move. Thought he would have commanded more.

Ahem ... David Robertson.

Yeah, if there is one position the Sox have invested in, it's the bullpen.

At first I thought it was $54M/3 years, which would be $18M/year which would be way too much money.

The contract details are interesting: https://twitter.com/JeffPassan/statu...921640960?s=20

It's basically a $54M/4 year deal, but the Sox have the option of declining the 4th year. If they decline it they still have to pay the same salary, it's just spread out over multiple years. I guess that offers them a bit of protection if he completely falls apart by age 36.

I was hoping it would be a 3-year deal, but was expecting a higher AAV. $13M should leave room for them to make a couple more additions.

And yes, the Sox now might have the best bullpen in the majors.
