If the Cubs are at all considering Willson Contreras as a trade chip, which early reports indicate they very well could be, they just gained hella leverage Thursday with news that the White Sox have signed Yasmani Grandal. The former Dodger and Brewer beat the market in a big way, forgoing $60 million over four years with the Mets last season in favor of one year at $18.25 million with the Brewers. He then parlayed that into $73 million over four years with the Sox, the largest contract in franchise history.
Yasmani Grandal Joining White Sox Just Made Willson Contreras Even More Valuable
