To be fair, he did walk that back and say they're willing to go multiple years if it's the right fit and all that, but that probably maxes out at 2 years given what we're expecting them to spend.

Makes sense given the Fuller connection

While that'd be great, they aren't spending that type of $.

I don't believe so

Hagen with two perfect innings in his start today with four strikeouts.

Staff is expected to be finalized by the end of the week as well.

In regards to the Sox, if they were trying to contend and had limited 40-man space to work with, leaving him off would make more sense given the injury. They aren't trying to contend and have plenty of 40 man spots to play with, so losing a young valuable arm for nothing would just be negligence IMO. Admittedly I'm a fan of his and would hate to see him go elsewhere.

You're correct. Time (at least 90 days) needs to be spent on the active roster in order for that team to gain control of said player sans R5 selection rules.

Correct, a bad team could make that work easily IMO.

He'd be more appealing IMO because he could spend a good chunk of time on the 60-day IL to free up that 40-man space until he's ready.
