    Worst first signing ever.
    Championships since purchase by John Henry group: Red Sox 4 Yankees 1

    The Red Sox are 8-1 in their last 9 postseason games against the Yankees.

    They must think they can unlock some hidden potential, otherwise I don't know how he is worth more than like $3M.

    It’s kind of like our Perez signing, last winter.
    When you say it's gonna happen now
    When exactly do you mean?

    Ooops! At least, he isn’t on the Yankees.

    Heaney is another one where the question was never really about talent. He just can't stay on the field...

    I think his talent is in question, too.

    His 4.33 FIP over the past 4 years would at least make him an average starter, maybe slightly below. But bear in mind he has probably tried to pitch injured, given how easily he seems to get hurt.

    He's not a game changer, but he has some skills that unfortunately seem to hurt him physically...

    Friedman got impatient.

    Maybe he figured he needed to find a cheap replacement on the Injured List for Kershaw?

    4.33 places him 39th out of 53 pitchers with 450+ IP since 2018.

    He's 63 out of 100 with 350+ IP. I guess that's close to average. Also, close to bottom third tier.
