Don't think it's Cooper's decision

Well, if Rodon wants to get paid he better quit then. You only hire Boras if you want to get paid. 97!!!!

If he starts performing, it is a decent option to have. Really like Carlos as a pitcher, but he's not going to be here when the Sox are contending, so if someone blows you away you take it and say adios. He is the Sox last major trade chip. If he establishes himself as a top pitcher by July 2019 would not be surprised to see him traded next year. If you're Hahn, and he pitches well to end the season, do you go to him and offer him 6/80? that is pretty much the only way he'll stick around. If he turns that down, then you put him on the block. He will have as much control as Sale did when he was moved with a worse track record. 

So you might as well put him on the block then because I doubt a Boras client makes that deal. The only way is if he realizes his injury history.

That slider on JBJ was nasty

His mechanics, command and velocity is awesome to see. He's doing this with a below average slider for him.

Clinic by Rodon 3 k's

Awesome!

Once he gets his arm strength all the way back he will be just fine.. looking good so far anyway 

Way to go Carlos !

He has all the talent in the world.

nice.

I don't think he will either, but maybe the shoulder surgery would scare him into taking the $. You gotta try though. The fact that he still has everything stuff wise makes me think not. We all know you only hire Boras if you want to get paid. If you're Hahn, you try to buy out a few FA years and if he turns it down, put him on the block. He's free after 2021.

Carlos is back.

Pretty cool clip of an amped Rodon

It's hard for me to get excited about Rodon because he's probably not going to be here when they're winning. Has 3.5 seasons of control at this moment.

Got to check out the sandman has arrived  , back for the early one tomorrow .

ANd that bites him in the ass 

Dammit

That error before the homer is a great example of why the error statistic kinda sucks

If we aren’t contending then, the whole organization needs to be gutted...

Rodon quickly reminding me why I used to think he was left-handed Javy Vazquez.
