SAN DIEGO — When the White Sox signed many of their rising stars to long-term deals before their free-agent seasons, presumably getting them under contract for multiple years at team friendly costs, it seemed like a master stroke of good business sense.
Deals for Yoan Moncada ($70 million), Luis Robert ($50 million) Eloy Jimenez ($43 million) and Tim Anderson ($25 million) gave the players financial security with potential for even bigger deals in the future. The team got multiple players with star potential and performance value at controlled costs for multiple years.
