I’ve been vocal that I’m quite happy Sox haven’t locked him up with an extension. I think he becomes more of a change up starter in a few years with 91-92 velocity fastball Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Lucas isn't someone who the Sox are willing to pay market rate for, when are they ever going to do it? I think he checks every box they can realistically want. but if the priority shifts from giving the mega deal to Cease instead of Lucas, that's fine with me. We all know Jerry wouldn't sign off on paying them both. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But my confidence isn't at an all time high. I think it will depend on how this season goes. I can think if there is some playoff success both guys could be signed. I might be too optimistic, probably am. But that's what my guy is saying. Or it's the wine I'm drinking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
