[Nightengale] Eloy Jimenez, who was coming off a 6-year, $43 million contract with the Chicago White Sox, now will earn just $2 million if he makes the Tampa Bay Rays’ opening-day roster with $2 million in bonuses if he has 500 plate appearances.

i mean it’s still $43 million he didn’t have before sooooo
poor bastard, only making $2 million to play the game he loves.
edit: hey where did flairs go
Not shrewd.
>with $2 million in bonuses if he has 500 plate appearances
The last time Eloy reached 500 PA in a season was 2019.
That’s what happens when you can’t hit, play defense, and are always hurt.
Bro is making Ohtani money 🤑💰📈
Sometimes I feel that Eloy was overhyped from the start because he was in the Cubs system when pretty much every player graduating was having some kind of success
he made more money than aaron judge before judge became a FA.
I’ll be surprised if he gets to 50 PA
Sometimes throwing lots of money at a prospect before they’ve played in MLB looks brilliant in hindsight, other times it does not.
After the season Profar had, I wish AJ took a shot on this guy, legit we have no one in LF right now, and we are expected to plug that hole with a minor leaguer already. Might as well give Eloy a shot. Oh well
I mean yeah that’s what happens when you suck ass?
I’d say, “What a fall for Eloy,” except he might get injured as a result of that fall.
“Just”
Fuck off
Devil magic is back!
Imagine making less than 43 million in 6 years lmfao.
We thought that contract was such a bargain when he signed it back in 2019.
Not too shabby for a dead man #RIPEloy
How many games would he need to be healthy and good enough to hit that incentive? Isn’t 500 PA like a full season?
Seems….bold, for Eloy.
Lots of comments here from people not in the know.
Eloy will be pitching for us.
I know a lot of the guys had a lot of injuries, but the amount of money the players on those teams cost themselves because they spent their time screwing around and not taking their career seriously is astounding.
“thanks cubs!” Iykyk
Everyone freaked when my Cubbies traded him, we dodged a bullet!
