ChiSox59 Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 It's a damn shame. Have to imagine he had a decent market last offseason. Could have been a real trade asset. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiSox59 Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 Should have traded him last winter. The market appeared to have been there. Damn shame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BamaDoc Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 Evidently there is a clause in the contract that if he has a elbow surgery the terms change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is correct. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2017/07/nate...er-surgery.html The news also has a direct effect on Jones’s contract situation. He is guaranteed $3.95MM next year regardless. But his 2019-21 options will now give the team an opportunity to retain him for less than it could have if Jones had stayed off the surgeon’s table for his elbow. He can now be controlled for the league minimum (2019), $3.75MM (2020), and $4.25MM (2021), with a $1.25MM buyout applying to any of those three years.

Essentially Jones is gonna be cheap. If he ends up coming back and has a good year next year he's gonna be a nice trade chip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mac9001 Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 I know a person who had nerve transportation surgery on his elbow (I'm guessing same thing?), he was an avid volleyball player and was back on the court in under 4 months. From what he told me it was just a small incision and he had to take it easy for a few months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elrockinMT Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 Scar tissue built up around the nerve after TJ surgery. It needed to be cleaned up. I think gloom and doom on Nate is premature Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lip Man 1 Posted July 13, 2017 Author Share Posted July 13, 2017 Look at all the Sox relief pitchers hurt the past few years...Jones, Putnam, Petricka...even Zach Duke. Think back to how Ventura managed the pen sometimes using three or four guys to get through one inning because he was so wedded to the "lefty has to face lefty" philosophy. All those appearances added up it seems...not just throwing in the game but warming up to get into the game. Now the chickens have come home to roost.
