MGon Signs with ChiSox

[Rene88]

Per Ken R:

I guess they are going to sign some "deep depth" from the California Penal League.

Free-agent RHP Miguel Gonzalez is in agreement with the #WhiteSox on a one-year contract, sources tell The Athletic. Gonzalez had a 4.02 ERA in 268 2/3 innings with the White Sox in 2016-17.

Sigh.   Maybe Duquette will be more 'pro-active' now..........

Dan has officially worn out his welcome with me. Crap or get off the pot Dan!

10:49am: The White Sox have agreed to a one-year deal with free agent righty Miguel Gonzalez, according to Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic (via Twitter). He’ll receive a $4.75MM salary, per Chris Cotillo of SB Nation (Twitter link).

Interesting to see what he does paired up with Castillo.

2017 year:

Quote

In 2017, he threw 156 total frames over 27 starts, working to a 4.62 ERA with 5.8 K/9 and 3.2 BB/9. Gonzalez carried career lows in average fastball velocity (91.2 mph) and swinging-strike rate (6.7%), though those figures aren’t wildly out of line with his established norms.

Or the White Sox are shoring up their rotation so they can trade pitching for Manny Machado 

But probably not.

Hey RR, Happy New Year to you. Get your Bowie Mini-Pack yet?

We both know Castillo is a recipe for disaster for pitchers but I think Gonzo is an astute pitcher. His stuff may not be A+ but he keeps holding his own. He will suffer, but I doubt it will be that bad. You know who will suffer? Gioloto and the younger guys.

Btw-Weams and I disagree on this. But when I heard Gioloto might be a centerpiece of a deal-I hit up Weams, lol. BEWARE. Rizzo is no dummy. Gioloto is a backend SP at best. The ChiSox know it too. I was afraid we were going to get him as a centerpiece and almost freaked out:)

Good luck to him!

I am the one who told Rene five years ago that Robbie Ray was the gem of the Nats minor leagues pitching. So I call them occasionally. He'll confirm this.

I never expected Dan Duquette to sign Miguel Gonzalez, as it would be essentially admitting he was wrong for cutting him for nearly the same money that the White Sox just signed him for. :shrug:

Thank you.

As expensive SP is and FA market being limited.

There is a reason Miggy only got 4.67 million.

I think in the AL East, he would do worse here, just my gut.

But, hell, Ive been wrong before, and will again.

With Castillo behind the plate, I would agree with you. With Joseph, not so much, just my thoughts.

I never wanted Dan Duquette to sign Miguel Gonzalez because he's not that good.
