SUre but the only reason the Sox got Cueto was because Lynn got hurt. Hahn preferred VV to him and probably passed on Martin Perez too because he was $1M more than V V.

None of that discounts what Cueto has done for this team and that is fill the fifth spot in the rotation, vacated by Rodon, without a drop off in performance.

He of course is having a great year, but if you take a step back, Cueto has contributed as much as he would have in that spot (so far).  This isn’t excusing them from not doing the QO.

The extra value they could have gotten from Rodon between OD-Mid May when Cueto debuted is probably the difference in the division. Not offering Rodon the QO + matching what the Giants gave him is, was, and will always be inexcusable for a franchise that will find any reason under the sun not to sign pitchers to *long-term* contracts, 1 or 2 years of someone with ace potential should have been right in their wheelhouse.

I am still annoyed about this but obviously I need to let it go.

No but it does say how bad a job Hahn did in addressing the starting pitching lack of depth when he throws money away like a drunken sailor on injured relief pitching and giving Leury a 3year contract.

Cueto plus VV cost considerably less than Rodon
