2024 is gone, when he comes back in 2025, is there even a remote chance he is effective? I can see 2025 being a lost year as well. Low innings, babying that injured shoulder, in hopes that 2026 he can be 100% back in business.
As much as I hate to say it, 2024 and 2025 seem like lost years, so why put that kind of money into the guy. I'd let him rehab with us in 2024 because he has earned it, but putting millions upon millions of dollars into a guy that probably won't help us for another 2 years seems foolish to me, unless he really takes a big hometown discount.
