Ok. The Sox made me now support ending the September callups. Nobody (except maybe Joe Maddon) likes bullpens this big. I can’t imangine how long the Yankee games will take.)

3/30 would be a huge overpay for Porcello. I would be surprised if he could get a 1/10 deal. I dont think this team needs to have Rick Porcello locked into our rotation for another 3 years at 10 mil per. Id rather take a risk on Cole Hamels or Zach Wheeler than Porcello. At least there is some upside in those plays.

Well, it's for even-year Rick Porcello. He's going to bet more than an 1/10 deal, as someone will be convinced they can fix him. He's only 30 and his approach has been very different year by year.
