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.Last edited by ChiSoxNationPres; 01-11-2021, 08:42 PM. -
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.

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

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

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.Comment
