The Chicago White Sox have some players who might be good enough to get a ten-year deal f the White Sox ever wanted to give one of those out.

There was some big news in the sports world yesterday. The Kansas City Chiefs gave their superstar starting quarterback, Patrick Mahomes, a ten-year contract extension.

It makes us wonder, are there any players on the Chicago White Sox that would deserve a contract that big?

No team in baseball is probably keen on giving too many guys contracts like that because they can really hurt you later. If the player gets really hurt or their play starts to fall off, ten years is a very long time in the sports world to have to deal with that contract.

There are a few different guys that you could look to in terms of the ones who might be candidates for a contract that long. This is just a fictional list in light of the Mahomes deal but it is still fun to think about. If there were a situation where they did it, it would be one of these three players:
