With video. Hopefully, he's finally modified his mechanics to keep the arm/elbow from dragging behind his trunk. Although with the ulnar nerve moved, the only thing left would be the UCL. Hopefully, the reconstruction holds up.
February 13, 20188 yr Wish him the best so the Sox can trade him in July but I fully expect, given his history, that he'll be back on the DL around Memorial Day.
February 14, 20188 yr Jones really is our final big trading chip. The injury history will scare people, but he is REALLY f***ING GOOD. Considering his contract, I really do think he could bring back a top 100 guy + others. Or maybe something like Jones to the Nationals for LHP Seth Romero (#5 prospect) and SS/3B Yasel Antuna (#8 prospect).

We got Rutherford, Clarkin, Polo, Clippard from the Yanks for 2 pretty good relievers without much injury histoy and Frazier, Not really expecting much of anything for him .

Obviously have to maintain it (Draft, shopping fliers like Soaria, Bruce Rondon, etc.) but the fire sale is over

They should still be listening on guys like Abreu, Garcia, Jones, any minor league signing pitching well, and Castillo.

They should still be listening on guys like Abreu, Garcia, Jones, any minor league signing pitching well, and Castillo. Just like with previous trade, they need to weigh the benefits of what they can get for him vs. how much he can help the team in the future. with his injury history, he is probably worth more to the Sox than what they can get for him. However, if he has a great first half, who knows.

People that want to move Abreu absolutely amaze me I'd like Garcia to stay if he proves himself this year, but understand shopping him while his value is high

It all depends on what is offered. Also Hahn hinted that they could be brought back as free agents (Abreu and Garcia). Edited February 19, 20188 yr by soxfan2014

Really good relievers are wasted on rebuilding teams, as their half-life is really short. I doubt Jones is here in 12 months, unless 2018 is injury plagued again.
February 21, 20188 yr Jones at this moment certainly isn't anything more than a lottery ticket; definitely not a really good reliever until his arm stays attached
