I don't believe him either, but i am completely ok with doing that... He's a pitcher for god's sake. His arm can get ruined at any moment. I'd be ecstatic if the Sox got him on a 1 year deal. No long term risk there. We have plenty of pitching prospects that have had injury troubles. It would give us another year to evaluate our staff and the progress of Kopech, Dunning, etc. Throw 25-30m~ at Bauer and call it a day.
