It was a somewhat unexpected evening for the White Sox in advance of the Monday night deadline to tender contracts to arbitration-eligible players.
This afternoon we brought you the news of the White Sox buying out the last year of James McCann’s arbitration, with a $5.1 million contract (a $200,000 increase on his MLBTR arb estimate), as well as releasing Thyago Vieira, allowing him to sign a contract in Japan.
The White Sox offered contracts to all other arbitration-eligible players on the 40-man roster (MLBTR arb estimates in parenthesis):
Alex Colomé ($10,300,000)
Carlos Rodón ($4,500,000)
Leury García ($4,000,000)
Evan Marshall ($1,300,000)
So far, so good.
