    Why waste pre-ARB years on a player that isn't 100% ready for a team that isn't close to competing for the playoffs? Doesn't make sense at all. If you're the ChiSox, you want to hold your prospects back as long as possible.

    IBL (Italian Baseball League) > MLB Like most sports leagues in Europe, and unlike professional baseball leagues in North America and Asia, the IBL uses a promotion and relegation system; the bottom five clubs are relegated to the Serie B minor league. Winners of the league are awarded a scudetto, and earn the right to represent Italy in the European Champions Cup.

    Sox could have nabbed a real power hitter this offseason: Luis Arraez.

    I'd only play for DR because that team seems fun.

    Watch out, you're going to get called out for that kind of language. 👮‍♂️

    KC demoted from leading off.

    Too high. Should not be top 10.

    His last ARB year is the 16M in '28, not your listed 8.5. His 20 AAV in '29 and club option '30 is about the FA value he'd get IMO.
  10. mvp 78
    Bello would also have a lot more trade value if he didn't have the extension.
  11. mvp 78
    Montgomery hasn't OPS'd 800 at AA yet, but they'd push him to MLB? Crazy.
  12. mvp 78
    Coulombe should be a pretty cheap signing. Last year he signed for 1/3. He might not be a backend guy anymore, but I'd rather throw him out there in the 6th/7th than Moran.

    The Sox would have paid them less via ARB and FA than these extensions. The extensions vs fWAR argument just shows that they would net LESS value. Meaningless. It's not even a counterpoint to say "well the extensions were worth it." They've been fine players, but neither of these guys are going to break the bank after their ARB terms are up. The only value in extensions is adding the additional years. Bello could get 2/40 after his ARB is up. Is that drastically cheaper than his FA value? Rafaela is getting 3/40. Is a glove first guy getting more than that?
  14. mvp 78
    Still kinda are. I don't think either guy would get more in ARB + FA than what their extensions are giving them.
  15. mvp 78
    Yairo Munoz held the award at some point.
  16. mvp 78
    My guess is that they'd be more likely to add relievers that get put through waivers before considering adding a guy that has never appeared in an MLB game.
  17. mvp 78
    To me, Sale was a risk, which is why I'm not really broken up about the trade.
  18. mvp 78
    People on here debated the top 3. Only one real sicko wanted Manaea here. The other 4 weren't mentioned as options at all.
  19. mvp 78
    Walker Buehler is back! He was great in the postseason! Just ignore the NLDS start where he gave up 6 runs!
  20. mvp 78
    His MiLB contract is what hurts his chances the most.
  21. mvp 78
    It's less about a time machine and more about "stop throwing money down a well while putting budgetary restrictions on a large market (by revenue) team."
  22. mvp 78
    If they got him for cheap in '24 when he was rehabbing, maybe. They spent too much on a guy who had about 10 good innings in the previous postseason after a pretty dreadful regular season. It was no different than how they signed Pablo "he's good in the playoffs" Sandoval. They brought him to BOS and the results mirrored his LAD regular season in '24. We're talking about a guy with two TJS's. When you get the second one, it can really be a career ender. This season, he had to settle for a MiLB deal.
  23. mvp 78
    Just FLOPPING into another postseason appearance.
  24. mvp 78
    The Sox would have been better off not splurging on Story and waiting for Swanson. I think we all know that by now. Bloom just wasn't experienced at building an MLB team. He's good at drafting hitters and collecting young talent, but you can't really overlook his shortcomings.
  25. mvp 78
    They sign these mediocre injured guys and don't even consider going for a guy with upside like Woodruff. I don't get it.
