Nate Jones is just the fourth Sox reliever to have his arbitration years bought out since 2006
The three-year, $8 million extension that Nate Jones signed last week didn't spark an immediate reaction out of me, which is by no means a negative. If the first thought isn't "Why did they do that?" the evaluation is already off to a decent start.
White Sox relievers are just different animals, is all. We could see Chris Sale's extension coming, and we popped champagne when he signed one. When Sale signed one, we anticipated Jose Quintana doing the same, and Rick Hahn went 2-for-2 with those easy calls.
