chitownsportsfan Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 So whats the money? I want to compare it to the Wade Miley deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
he gone. Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 I maintain my stance, this is a fine signing for the back-end rotation. It's a warm body, probably $5-8mm and he provides decent production. I'll take it. Now go sign Alex Wood or Ryu and please for the love of God bring in something useful in RF (Mazara at DH).

No they cannot do that as that would provide strong support for a grievance filed later. They can suggest that he will be heading to AAA but they also have to say something about it depending on spring training or his innings or whatever. They cannot issue that firm statement until spring training. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hahn has said it without explicitly saying it. It's pretty obvious through context. Don't expect Kopech up until after the draft in June, or Memorial Day Weekend at the earliest. He needs to be down for 45 days to get the year back, and they're going to stretch it out a bit longer to avoid a possible grievance.

BFirebird Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 Not a bad 4th/5th starter. Third time is the charm for Gio. Hopefully Sox can still get 1 more SP in here and some bullpen help then I call this a successful offseason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're never going to officially say this until they option him to the minors in March. So no. But the people in charge have alluded to it many times. So yah, Kopech is going to be in AAA. Stop penciling him into your OD rotations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at Ray Ray Run Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 Ken Rosenthal @Ken_Rosenthal · 54s Free-agent right-hander Julio Teheran in agreement with #Angels on one-year, $9M contract, source tells The Athletic. Pending physical. First with agreement: @JeffPassan Holy shit, thank god we didn't sign that deadbeat to a 9m Deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thxfrthmmrs Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 In all seriousness, I’m happy if the deal doesn’t exceed 1/$7M. We paid Nova $9M to eat innings last year, and Gio is more than just a Nova replacement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK even then, why would you hang out a $20 million annual contract to Ryu/Keuchel/Price if you know at some point Kopech will be a part of this rotation? Or are folks still rooting for Lopez to fail? I think the Sox will get a disposable 2nd veteran here shortly to go with Gio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one is rooting for Lopez to fail, but we can't count on all of our pitchers being good next season. And if they are all good, that is a great problem to have.

Having too many SP is a good problem to have and certainly one the Sox will be happy to address if need be. Guys get hurt. Guys are ineffective. Shit happens. But I do think you pretty much hit the nail on the head on why the Sox aren't super keen on backing up the truck for a long term deal for sketchy long term assets like Ryu and Keuchel. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
