If hypothetically this were real, this could be a step made possible with insurance money gotten back from a policy on Hendriks. I’d much rather they spend that money on another OF than a third catcher that is not a good catcher. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marisnick appears to be a little faster and has a stronger arm and better fundamentals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would assume they still owe Hendriks a portion of contract even if he is out for the season. How much money would they save if his deal is insured?

I was told in Jake Peavy's case for example when he missed 1/6th of the season after that lat tear the Sox got back money based on insurance coverage but I was also told that teams keep insurance deals very close to the vest and the actual terms/ conditions are really only known to the team and insurance company. I was also told coverage on athletes contracts is very expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if this deal had a cancer rider on it, they won't get back everything for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The terms are going to be up to the team and the insurer. They may insure different amounts for different things, a guy missing an entire season for cancer treatment is likely to be the kind of thing where the team might have a good chance at insuring the whole amount fairly cheaply because that isn't going to happen very often.

pcq Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 Insurance of this kind would be really pricey and not 100% with all sorts of terms and exclusions. Once you actually used it your premiums would take a hit. You don't just push a button and get $20M in the mail. People here are way too casual about the topic.

GreenSox Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 If this happens, I guess it means that Grandal is an absolute no-go, at least at catcher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 I think the issue is if Grandal can't bounce back and at least be a regular, is Seby and his mostly impossible to maintain numbers good enough to be a regular. Is Perez ready to be a regular. Chances are, the answer to those questions is no. I Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never really understood these fake insiders. Maybe you get something from someone once and you post it, and you get enough people to think youre an insider, but if you really aren't, what's the motivation?

I'm not sure about that....I've got a message in to this Greek guy that I know and will pass it along once I get confirmation. I do know that any trades done while SoxTalk is down are null and void. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
