If hypothetically this were real, this could be a step made possible with insurance money gotten back from a policy on Hendriks. I’d much rather they spend that money on another OF than a third catcher that is not a good catcher.

Marisnick appears to be a little faster and has a stronger arm and better fundamentals.

I would assume they still owe Hendriks a portion of contract even if he is out for the season. How much money would they save if his deal is insured?

How much money would they save if his deal is insured? I was told in Jake Peavy's case for example when he missed 1/6th of the season after that lat tear the Sox got back money based on insurance coverage but I was also told that teams keep insurance deals very close to the vest and the actual terms/ conditions are really only known to the team and insurance company. I was also told coverage on athletes contracts is very expensive.

How much money would they save if his deal is insured? I imagine the cost and deductible are huge. Even if this deal had a cancer rider on it, they won't get back everything for sure.

How much money would they save if his deal is insured? The terms are going to be up to the team and the insurer. They may insure different amounts for different things, a guy missing an entire season for cancer treatment is likely to be the kind of thing where the team might have a good chance at insuring the whole amount fairly cheaply because that isn't going to happen very often.

January 15, 20233 yr Insurance of this kind would be really pricey and not 100% with all sorts of terms and exclusions. Once you actually used it your premiums would take a hit. You don't just push a button and get $20M in the mail. People here are way too casual about the topic.
January 15, 20233 yr If this happens, I guess it means that Grandal is an absolute no-go, at least at catcher.
January 15, 20233 yr I think the issue is if Grandal can't bounce back and at least be a regular, is Seby and his mostly impossible to maintain numbers good enough to be a regular. Is Perez ready to be a regular. Chances are, the answer to those questions is no. I

January 17, 20233 yr Did we sign Sanchez while Soxtalk was down?....or did Rick Hahn take a break until we were back??

I'm not sure about that....I've got a message in to this Greek guy that I know and will pass it along once I get confirmation. I do know that any trades done while SoxTalk is down are null and void.
