That might not be a bad thing if there is no need, or no FT position for him. He was given a job once, so now he has to earn another shot, or wait till someone gets hurt, or traded, and even then he has to produce.
Good take on KC. It just seems that the philosophy of the Red Sox now is to try, and lockup all the young guys like they did with Casas a few years ago. Some will work out, and some won’t.
According to Cotillo both Oviedo, and Early will both be on the opening day roster due to Ranger, and Bello being a little behind, because of their WBC participation. Tolle already sent down to Woo. Right now the Sunday game In Cincinnati is listed as undecided with Ranger, and Bello going the first two games in Houston.
I’m not the one who said KC is owed almost twice as much as Masa like that had something to do with the Masa situation in the first place. It didn’t then, and it don’t now.👋
For KC to make his way back up to Boston most likely someone would have to get hurt, and even then he might not be the first option. He’s got to prove himself in Woo first.
You look worse trying to explain it than you did posting the first time. Money most likely has something to do why Masa is on the club, and has nothing to do with why KC isn’t. Every case is different, and there is about a $16M difference for this year. If Masa only had one year left on his contract it may be a different story altogether. KC making a little over $2M this year is not even a consideration especially for a suspect, which KC is, and Masa isn’t to make the team. Two ENTIRELY different situations with 2 ENTIRELY different outcomes that shouldn’t even be compared IMO.🙈
It’s not funny at all. Is KC owed $18M this year? Next year? Matter of fact unless the Red Sox pick up an option way down the line KC won’t make $18M in any year. What a bad, bad, bad comparison.🤭
Yoshida may be the best bench bat, but where is his AB outside of an injury going to come from? Masa has had a regular role before, and now he doesn’t. Casas, and KC aren’t even on the Boston horizon at this point, and that’s with Woo being so close by.
As I’ve said this offseason it will be interesting to see how Cro Man fares this season after his first heavy workload in innings last year. It starts counting for real next time out, and that’s all that matters.
The Red Sox needed starters at the time especially with Sale being frail, and both Whitlock, and Houck were cheap options whom both roles were messed with.
