I don't know this for sure, but I think there's a pretty strong case to be made to do it for both sides. If you're convinced that "moderate damage is very likely to lead to the surgery", and you find a guy who has moderate damage to the point of elbow soreness, getting it done would be the quickest way to get the guy back. If you wait 6 months, and the guy needs the surgery anyway, you have wasted 6 months or more of the guy's career and delayed his rehab by 6 months or more. This could cost the team use of a pre-arbitration player, and could cost the player performance before they hit free agency.

The physical tests and imaging will determine the extent of the damage and that's what the decision is based upon. But just to say "any issue with the elbow and we'll go to surgery" is borderline malpractice. 

The decision should not be based on what it will do to his career and team but what is best for the patient. Who cares if he misses time because conservative care doesn't work. There are many possible complications from surgery that should be avoided except as the last resort. 

The health of the patient is the primary concern.

the Romy era sure was fun

It’s a one-year, $4 million contract with a mutual option for $6 million (and $1.5 million buyout) for 2025.

Anyone surprised they paid a reliever this much?

Also, the Sox scouting department thought Romy could be a starter at 2B at one time, didn’t they?

I'll take this kind of deal all day compared to what they've given relief pitchers in the past.

Romy basically died from injuries.

You’re forgetting Remillard and Jose Rodriguez promoted in the same way…

Remember when Burger at 26 was too old for the next competitive window?

They are clearly just trying to field a team to get through the season. Competitive my rear end...LOL

Which means they are four years away and maybe three if they’re extremely lucky and a lot of breaks go their way with prospect development and 2024-25 drafts.

To be fair, Burger will be turning 28 to start the season in April.  But why you would allow your outgoing front office to swing highly impactful trades before they are canned still makes zero sense to me.

There is no OF depth chart.  We keep spending on relievers and not on every day position players like RF.

I think they will sign a low cost ($2M-$5M) RF before ST once players have no other options.

Hicks would be the likely scenario if he had any interest since he is only due $740k, but I don’t see him bothering since he will be paid to stay at home. Merrifield is scary for regular OF play.

Duvall would be a good selection since he can adequately fill in defensively in CF for Robert off days.

Anything but Sheets manning a glove will work at this point until Colas is possibly ready later this year.
