After optioning off Eloy Jimenez to Triple-A Charlotte, it has recently been reported by analyst Hector Gomez that the White Sox are in talks of extending their number one prospect to an eight-year, $100 million dollar contract that would retain team control through the year 2026.
It was made known by executive VP Kenny Williams during their free agent pursuit of Manny Machado that the failure to land the superstar free agent had a lot to do with looking forward to the possible contracts the White Sox young core would generate. It seems that particular thought has already come to fruition.
