FWIW, Vazquez's team option next year is currently for $7MM. It goes up to $8MM with another 123 PAs this season.
It'll be a race. Down to the wire, especially with more Plawecki ABs.
Prospects - A player will generally graduate from prospect status once he exhausts his MLB "rookie" status." Rookie status is exhausted once a player: (1) has more than 130 at-bats in the majors; (2) has pitched more than 50 innings in the majors; (3) has been on an active major league roster for more than 45 days (not including September call-ups).
Duran will graduate in 2 weeks.
Funny thing is overall he's objectively better than Plawecki at CERA. It's only when moon hand picks data points that Vaz looks worse than Plawecki. Funny.

Removing Andriese from the roster means effectively declining the 2022 $3.5MM club option in favor of a $250k buy-out.
Other 2022 options still to be decided: Richards ($10MM), Perez ($6MM), Vazquez ($7-8MM), Schwarber ($11MM mutual).
Is that stat just based on getting to balls and fielding them cleanly? Maybe the issue is the throwing to 1B? Maybe the issue is the type of contact the starters are giving up?
Two more series against that dumpster fire.
The one thing that the Sox have in their back pocket is their final 6 games of the year:
