Dave Robertson To The White Sox

[section18]

It was reported around 12:30 AM our time and 9:30 in San Diego that Robertson signed with the White Sox tonight for 4 years and $40 million. Nice pick up and with Samardziga being dealt to them on Tuesday the Sox look a lot stronger for 2015.

Deal ended up being 4/46

-WHEW-

I feel better now that the Yanks aren't getting KC Bullpen Mk 2.0

Yankees in essence traded Robertson for Miller, a comp pick and the extra cash it would have taken to sign Robertson. Advantage Yankees.

With a bit of salary relief thrown in for good measure.

That's what I meant by cash. I edited my post to make it more clear.

Got it.

That is the type of easy move that a team with the payroll flexibility the Yankees have can make.

How many teams can afford to make a QO for Robertson?

A lot of money tied into one reliever when they need pitching help across the board, especially out of the pen.

[SeaBird]

He wanted "Papelbon Money". The Yankees never even made him an official offer.

I thought he was nuts not to take it, but 4/$46 mm shows I was wrong. I think that's a lousy contract for the White Sox, by the way.

Absolutely. If Miller remains stout.

Me too. I am not a big Robertson fan.

You know how I feel on the subject.

I believe over the next four years that Tommy Hunter could possibly have better statistics. There. I said it.

Agree. I like Robertson but not that much. This has B.J. Ryan potential.
