April 17, 20232 yr MLB deal is interesting - assume that means Sox need to carry him on 40 man, right? Doesn't look like he has pitched in a couple years after defecting.

April 17, 20232 yr Sounds good, I just hope we don't screw him up. It would be more reassuring if we knew the Sox had the right coaches down in the minors to develop his full potential like the good winning organizations do with pitchers.
April 17, 20232 yr Since the catch all got deleted, also looks like Sox signed Lucas Farrell to milb deal today per their transactions page. Has 69 career MLB appearances with Rangers, Cubs, Reds, Twins and Royals over the last half decade. Has appeared in MLB every season since 2017.

April 17, 20232 yr They only have for him 2 years then? He doesn’t have the full 6 years of control or whatever it usually is? Kind of a strange contract structure.

Kind of a strange contract structure. Maybe they feel if things don't work out everyone of the "core" group will either be traded or will have left in free agency in two years?

Kind of a strange contract structure. It’s a 2 year guaranteed deal, but I believe he’d still be under team control with only 2 years of service time.

April 17, 20232 yr After all that rowing he should have a good fastball. I have yet to concede that the World Series goes through Havana or even Cien Fuegos.

April 17, 20232 yr Is this dude any good? I suppose he will be in the bullpen later this Summer and we will find out soon enough!

April 17, 20232 yr I don’t think the big league deal part is true. My guess is a minors deal with a $2 million bonus.
April 17, 20232 yr Strange type of deal for someone who a team STRONGLY believes has the ability to be an impact talent at the major league level. Not even Velasquez money.
