Soooo no follow up to this?

I think Buehrle is a Cardinal this year if he plays at all.

I always thought that he could be a member of the sox team after his pitching days end. Maybe as our pitching coach.

Doesn't seem so. If there was it would have been during the opening ceremonies. Blame Levine.

His is a weird story. After being so durable all those years, does his arm hurt badly? Is it falling off so to speak?? He was great at the start of last season and pretty effective until the end when he basically stopped pitching.

If his arm isn't a mess Sox should sign him for 2 million plus a few incentives. Even though we're stock full of lefties it certainly wouldn't hurt to give him a chance considering all the hacks we've used as our fifth starter in recent years.

Levine mentioned a soxfest surprise with him. Sounds like it'll be him retiring thought not anything to do with the active roster.

Well, this didn't happen. Why did we trust Levine?

He excused it away this AM. He said instead the surprise was Thomas being back on the business side of things...lol

 

 

Guessing he heard a former star was gonna be brought back so he went and reported about Buehrle.

Mark Buehrle: Not planning to sign, but not officially retiring. Leaving the door open for possible comeback down the road.

If Sox are in contention and struggling with 4/5 starter role, I would be shocked if they don't look to him around the deadline.

Buehrle should do this every year. He will pitch till hes 50.

Ugh, just retire already Mark.

I cannot imagine Mark Buehrle staying in anything resembling pitching shape if he's not going through ST.

This is true but maybe Mark will surprise us.

Was Mark ever really in anything resembling pitching shape????

 

We're talking about a position where CC Sabathia was once an ace and Bartolo Colon is still good.

It is not necessarily his weight, these guys are on programs including shoulder and leg work. I actually was at a seminar Allen Thomas was talking about it. They start up November 15.

Posting this strictly because it's hilarious.

Mark Buehrle, who turned down chances, isn't quite ready to announce retirement. But he isn't throwing, recently bought an RV

I am sure plenty of teams were willing to bring him in. Good luck to Mark no matter what he does. He is one of my all time favorite players.

Kinda was hoping the Sox would bring him back for last go at it. Hopefully if he retires the Sox bring him back for a one day contract so he can retires with them.
