I think this is actually the perfect time to offer him an extension, something like 4/$30 with two team options bringing the max value to 6/$50. Gives him some financial security and gives the Sox extra years of control that ensure that if he does come back and perform, he's part of the rebuild core.

I have zero doubts the Sox have approached him at various times. Remember the Sox even put the extension to Maggs on the table after he destroyed his knee.

hogan873 Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 Good news. I hope this is where he can really get his career started. He has shown flashes of being a dominant pitcher, and it seems like injuries have been the only thing holding him back. I was fortunate enough to be at a game last year when he pitched. It was impressive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carlos is going to be getting close to FA by the time the Sox are making things interesting. I used to think that was going to happen 2019, I now think its 2020, with an eye on being a really good team by 2021. Rodon is a FA after 2021.

All you can do is hope for the best I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, and I'd like a pony, too... ...Then I remembered who Rodon's agent was, and recognized that 'He Gone' a heartbeat after his arb years are up. I actually hope for him to be healthy, which would be a novelty for Rodon, and effective as well, so that he can be traded before he leaves via FA.

Boras just had the worst winter of his life, and Rodon has experienced quite a few injuries as a major leaguer. Getting financial security might be important to Rodon at this point, and Boras isn't as likely to stop him after this past offseason.

Huh, all the reports on this guy out of college was that he was a bulldog in the weight room and that he was a hard worker. It did seem that he came into camp a little pudgy last year but that's fine for a pitcher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Don Cooper and the Sox training team tells a pitcher to do something you'd think they would take his advice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he shoots left handed (which I assume)...if he's shooting birds...or even targets/skeet with a .12 gauge shotgun...that's tends to pound your shoulder pretty good. I had a saiga12 a few years back...that after I put about 36 shells thru it...left a massive bruise on my shoulder. Thing hurt for over a week lol. Course i'm not sure what he's shooting...but I'd figure either .12 gauge or 308...both will pound you.

Well, for one, each off season is unique, & we don't yet know if it will be a buyer's or seller's market when Rodon enters FA. For two, Boras didn't become the most powerful agent in MLB by getting his players to sign cut-rate deals. Taken together, I remain dubious as to Rodon re-signing here. That said, an oft-injured, and purportedly out of shape slob doesn't inspire confidence in this fan, either. On the other hand, given that Fulmer and Giolito and Lopez are walking the yard each time they're on the mound, maybe Rodon may yet surprise us. We'll see.
