think we extend either Lynn or Rodon? let's say both walk, that's a huge hit to the rotation for next year. Giolito/Cease/Keuchel/Kopech/5 might not even win the division if they can't replace 1 of these guys with top talent.
the only reason the Sox are where they're at right now is because of the starting pitching. and relying on Kopech and Cease next year screams red flag to me
even if Jerry greenlights both guys, they could still test FA (and you can't really criticize either guy for it). but if we lose both dudes, that would really suck
my personal preference would be to extend Lynn+Rodon, and package Cease in the off season for prospects if he maintains his growth and doesn't implode by the end of the year
