Harrison was supposed to be the big "get" in the Devers trade and he still hasn't pitched one freakin' inning for the Sox. and may never. IOW, we traded Devers for nothing.
i was curious as to how many times a pitcher has struck out 4 batters in one inning (nobody has ever struck out 5) . Chapman's was the 100th time in MLB history.
why these idiots took him in the Devers trade. i get they were ready to dump Devers and his salary but iin return, they took on this loser and his stupid salary. Hicks would have been DFA'd already if he weren't making $12.5M/ year. the entire trade was just f***ing stupid.
gamble? i'd call it a sound investment. i'd much rather pay him $13M a year than Hicks. or whatever they're paying Liam Hendricks for absolutely nothing.
aren't the chances of Gio's option borderline on kicking in? though unlikely and theoretically, the Sox could hold him back a bit to trigger the club option for '26. wouldn't this give the Sox a bit of leverage in getting him to sign a new contract?
