flavum Posted November 3, 2023 Share Posted November 3, 2023 Wonder if they would Friday night news dump the TA decision. One way or the other, some aren’t going to be happy. The Hendriks news was pretty obvious. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lip Man 1 Posted November 3, 2023 Share Posted November 3, 2023 Best thing for all concerned, if Liam really wants to return to the organization he'll have an opportunity to work out a new agreement. And this gives the Sox some "financial flexibility" (so they can waste it on injury-prone, retreads and stiffs) 😄 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, he should just wait til he's healthy and try to sign a $8 million or so deal after 2024. The money is guaranteed now that the option has been declined, it's no longer good business for him to sign anything until he's ready for a training camp. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could sign him to a 2 year deal where he gets very little year 1, and then $8M in year 2. And if I could bet on it, I would bet the Sox come to some sort of agreement like that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't sign him right now because what if he has a setback - you've added $8 million and gotten nothing out of it. I wouldn't sign that right now if I was him because I might find a better offer after the 2024 World Series once I do a throwing demonstration in the offseason, depending on who needs pitching and how the market goes. All this went out the window today, no one has any real motivation to do anything here until he's doing a pitching demonstration and hitting the high 90s again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitekrazy Posted November 4, 2023 Share Posted November 4, 2023 You never know, he might decide to retire instead. No team would do that option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

South Side Hit Men Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 Does every player with deferred money get paid each July 1st, the same as Bobby Bonilla, or is Bobby Bonilla's day specific to his contract? Liam Hendriks Day $1.5M through 2033 will still come up two years short of Bobby Bonilla Day scheduled through Bobb's age 72 year in 2035.
