Good morning!
First and foremost: to those who celebrate, a very merry Christmas to you all. To those who do not, I wish you a restful and relaxing weekend with hopefully some additional time off between now and the New Year.
Yes, it's that time of year again, where we review the largest free agent signings in franchise history. This year, the White Sox have added two to the free agency Sporcle! Unfortunately, we're still all waiting around for the first $100 million-plus signing, so I guess $75 million will have to do.
At any rate, I chose not to eliminate any names from this Sporcle, so there are now forty names for you to guess. The short version of it is: which free agents have signed with the team for at least a one year, $5 million figure? How many can you name? Good luck!
Quiz Parameters
- I've allotted 10 minutes for completion attempts.
- For hints, I've provided the date of the signing (usually when it was reported, not the day it became official; with the Correa/Giants debacle, I guess I shouldn't assume anything!) and the contract details.
Useless information to amaze, annoy, confuse, and/or confound your friends and family:
- 11 of the 40 signings on this list are relief pitchers.
- Just five have been starting pitchers and just two of those have been for more than one year (if you don't count things like options).
