Man what a bummer. One comes off the IL, then another goes on. Yeah, might be time to cut ties eoth Carlos if it is indeed Tommy John. I doubt the recovery process timeline will fit the Sox plans for contention.
I also just think they are done dumpster diving for starters. Next year theoretically we start out with Lopez, Gio, Cease and Kopech. I think either they sign a real good SP out of FA, which will Im sure require a contract worth many years past a potential Rodon return, they trade some of their OF prospects for one, or maybe Banuelps turns into the next Q or something and they go with him.
Also, Covey just has 9 lives man. Him and Engel, wow.
