Dank(s) You Sir, May I Have Another Five Years?

Multiple media outlets were reporting Wednesday night that the Chicago White Sox and pitcher John Danks have agreed in principle on a contract extension. ESPNChicago.com and CBSSports.com, citing anonymous sources, reported the extension is for five years. CBSSports.com also reported the deal is for $65 million and will likely be announced after Christmas, assuming Danks passes...

Like all pitchers who have been made available this offseason, the Yankees inquired on White Sox starter John Danks. However, talks never really progressed past the initial stage after Sox GM Kenny Williams insisted on at least two of the Yankees top prospects in any deal, according to Andrew Marchand of ESPN New York. Before signing an extension it seemed too risky to give up so...

Whether it was a full post or a line here or there, I’ve made no secret about how I feel/felt about a potential John Danks trade. The Chicago White Sox were rumored to want two of the New York Yankees’ three best prospects in a deal for John Danks and that is obviously ridiculous. Even if it was just Dellin Betances as the centerpiece of a deal, I don’t think it...

Despite many rumors to the contrary, John Danks isn’t going anywhere. The White Sox have agreed to sign the left-hander to a five-year, $65MM contract extension, according to Jon Heyman of CBSSports.com (Twitter links). The news won't be announced before next week, since Danks has to take a physical for the move to become official. Doug Seyller reported the agreement...

Despite persistent trade rumors, it appears that John Danks will be staying with the White Sox after agreeing to a five-year, $65 million contract, according to multiple reports.

The Chicago White Sox and starting pitcher John Danks have reached an agreement on a five-year contract extension, a major league source told ESPNChicago.com on Wednesday night.

You have to hand it to Kenny Williams, he really doing... something. With his latest move, he has given the White Sox rotation a healthy dose of stability by locking up lefty John Danks for five years at what is believed to be $65 million. That is a perfectly reasonable amount to pay a 26-year old lefty who has proven to be durable and has generally been consistently good, though...

Have Kenny Williams and the Chicago White Sox stepped away from the ledge? That seems to be the consensus after news of John Danks' multi-year extension broke late on Thursday night.
