Keuchel terms with #WhiteSox, per source: Three years, $55.5M with vesting option. First with terms: @JonHeyman.

 

 

@JeffPassan

The Keuchel deal with the White Sox, as @JonHeyman said, is for three years and $55.5 million. It includes a vesting fourth-year option that can take it to $74 million.

Are the White Sox better than the Cubs now?

 

If anything is for sure is that Stearns and Co. are pulling off a masterful offseason.

 

How much you want to bet Brett Anderson has a higher WAR than Keuchel in 2020?

 

How much “WAR” would having both Brett Anderson and Keuchel on the same team warrant you? :rolleyes

I'd imagine the difference in WAR between having Kuechel and not having Keuchel. What exactly is your point? Do you think the Brewers should have signed him for 18mil a year? Or did you just need to get in a drive by post? :rolleyes

but it's not like every guy suddenly forgot every piece of advice he gave

More curious as to why Stearns had a masterful offseason just because we avoided signing another quality arm than anything. But to answer your question, yes I would have. The salary would be about 14 additional mil this year had we not gave Sogard 4.5 mil.

Personally I’d rather have Keuchel for an extra $9 million per than Sogard plus Smoak, however I trust Stearns and figure he has a plan in place that will work and/or has analytics & info (that I’m not privy to) that tells him that Keuchel is too big of a risk at that price.

Keuchel's fine. It's not an overpay, but he's going to be 32 and he's started 30 games in a season 2 times in his career. I'm not sure the Brewers can take that kind of leap at 18 mil per.

 

 

This is an overpay by about $5M per season.
