I agree it's different circumstances yet everyone wants to send him down for control reasons. Every post that has mentioned him starting in AAA has mentioned control as the primary reason. Hes not stupid and will see the same thing everyone else does, but fair the injury makes for a nice excuse. It's extremely clear hes one of the best starting options on the team (barring him having a double digit era in ST or something). He will be upset if hes not up here opening day and knows how much that can cost him financially. We will just have to wait and see what decisions they make I guess.
If I had to guess, kopech will be on the opening day roster. If not I imagine a grievance will be filed immediately. And while that would lose, I'm guessing the sox want to avoid the drama all together.
This was the post :
"Cole is out. Cozart is getting traded. We’re gonna trade for David Price. Rendon and Ryu are our top targets."
went on to clarify cozart was going to the Giants.
I saw a now deleted post on reddit break this 4 hours ago. Also said Angels are out on Cole who will be going to the Yanks. Rendon to Angels is the move.
