It's the opposite and the only purpose to "revive their careers" is to make Birmingham better. Then those revived players hope to get traded to a team playing meaningful baseball. Imagine if one works out and the Sox offer like a 2 year contract? I can't imagine that.

Yeah, I have a hard time seeing the upside, other than possibly giving you innings. If he looks great? He may get an MLB deal with a better team next year. Edited June 24, 2025Jun 24 by Bob Sacamano

They can't fix him soon enough to show the rest of the league he is fixed before the deadline. This almost certainly about filling innings in 2025, and nothing else.

I think it's more of a "is he fixed?" thing. If he isn't already fixed, there's no point to this.

I would be pretty shocked if he was fully OK, and no one else was willing to take a chance on him. Pitching is such a needed commodity by pretty much every team in baseball.
June 24, 2025Jun 24 This is a no-risk, no downside signing. The odds of anything coming from it, I have to believe, are very, very small. But we'll see. As has been pointed out, all the young arms are going to become tired out soon. Some very soon as seems the case with Shane Smith. The Sox need people to cover innings. I don't like it, but Clevenger seems like he will be one. So maybe Thor too . . . They're gonna need arms. Has anyone heard anything on Martin Perez? Is there any realistic hope he could be throwing by July? End of July?

June 24, 2025Jun 24 After this I wonder if Getz hit up Mark Buehrle while he was shooting his commercial?

While he could probably hit more homers than Josh Rojas in the same number of at bats, he is more likely to get hit by the return fire of 115 mph exit velocity balls rocketed by the batters he faces due to his now gas can arm.

June 25, 2025Jun 25 He's totally going to be on this team once Houser/Civale are dumped. Expecting absolutely nothing - he looked cooked with Cleveland.
