    And Gray's contract seems much more reasonable than Bello's due to Gray's better production. Hedging your bets on an extension and not getting a discount from the player is a terrible way to do an extension. Spencer Strider signed a 6/75 extension after having a 4.9 fWAR season. That's a discount. It took Bello 2.5 seasons to get to that fWAR.

    Oviedo continuing his strong ST so far.

    So that's where you get your posting style from. Lovely.

    Looks like Password, Chris Murphy and Drohan have had good springs. Jordan Hicks is in midseason form.

    300M contract for Mayer? No.

    I went to look at some older posts in various places and most of the comparisons to Acuna basically say "Acuna should fire his agent," which is probably true TBH.

    Tayron Guerrero spotted

    TBF, last year the CBT calc added 16% above what the actual cash payments were. It really just depends on the year. The hope is that some year the CBT will be significantly LOWER than the cash payments.

    People complained about the Tatis extension?

    I'd make Mayer get through a full professional season healthy before I'd extend him unless it's at a deep discount (give him Rafaela's contract).

    If they thought he was just a 3/4 guy, they extended him for too much $$$. It would be ridiculous to extend a reliever that didn't have crazy upside. They extended Whitlock and they didn't really get a discount there. It's fine? If he ended up starting, it would have been great.

    Compare Bello to what Gray has been over the past two seasons. Not many people on here aside from me thought Gray was a #2. Gray has been far better than Bello and is paid 25M. Bello's last two seasons are 20M. Seems like the extension is a little high for a contract that was signed a few years ago and is "just a hedge" against future performance for a 4th starter. 🫠

    If the expectation is that he's a #3/4, you don't give him the extension. You give him the extension if you have the expectation that he's an Opening Day starter and is a guy that can trend towards the top of the rotation.

    Probably wasn't going to sign for 1M a few months ago.

    Breslow, you stiff.

    17 is the ST record. He held up second base for a second jokingly referencing Ricky Henderson.

    Just feed it into BTV. He'd have more trade value without the contract. It's simple math. Seriously!

    ChiSox are projected to be the worst team in the league. Adding Montgomery to the mix won't help with viewers or attendance. Adding Mookie in 2014 didn't pop any ratings for the Sox.

    This is the extent of his MiLB service. He's barely played and hasn't really knocked the door down. ST numbers don't really matter. Are we chomping at the bit to put Mickey Gasper on the 26 man roster? If the ChiSox really want to build something, jumping the gun on Montgomery isn't a smart move especially for a farm that is still middle of the pack.
  25. mvp 78
    What if the ChiSox held off until Monty was a 2+ fWAR guy before promotion? 🤩
