Assuming that's it, Max Scherzer finishes his seven-year run in Washington with a 2.80 ERA and 1,610 strikeouts in 1,229 regular-season innings. Fully worth the $191.4 million.
John Henry hurt the Sox by dicking around that offseason with the "no pitchers over 30" ********.
I don't see anyone wanting to pay Perez or Richards at this point. Any team that is out of contention is just going to piecemeal a rotation together. They have no incentive to add Richards or Perez.

Red Sox 3rd round pick Tyler McDonough (NC State, $829K) is making his pro debut in Florida at noon, he's batting 2nd and playing second base.
Today's probables:
AAA - Worcester: Stephen Gonsalves 4:35 pm
AAA - Worcester: Connor Seabold (#5) Game 2
AA - Portland: Victor Santos 6:00 pm
A+ - Greenville: Chris Murphy (#16) 7:00 pm
A - Salem: Jeremy Wu-Yellend (#36) 7:00 pm
Wu-Yelland was a 2020 pick, Murphy a 2019 pick. Victor Santos was the PTBNL for CJ Chatham (maybe his first Sox start?). It'll be interesting to see if Seabold can have a solid outing as the MLB squad could use another starter. Gonsalves was seen as a guy who could have had an impact on the MLB pen this year because his stuff ticked up, but he hasn't shown much.
I hope he puts up monster numbers for the Yankees. The Yankees fall short of the postseason this year and next. They give him a massive contract and the team doesn't get a ring for another 20 years.
