Worth noting that Hendriks had Tommy John surgery in August of 2023, so he's unlikely to pitch for the club until later in the year.

I wonder if this means any for Kenley? Or is it more of a 2025 move. How long until Hendricks is back?

Could be a really good move. Doesn't make sense to keep him Jansen and Martin though...when is Hendriks back?

Hendriks was his dominant self in 2022, got diagnosed with stage 4 non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, beat cancer - and then came back early last year. After ramping up he hurt his elbow 5 innings into his return and needed TJ.
Love everything about this signing - the person, the player, the fit. This is great.

I actually feel pretty good about this move. He is supposedly aiming to be back around the trade deadline.

Who doesn't love Liam Hendriks? No immediate roster considerations either, since there's an open spot (Schreiber) and then he'll be able to go on the 60-day.

If you aren't going to spend on a big ticket FA this season, this is the kind of move that makes sense to use a little payroll this year to potentially save on payroll next season.
It's a gamble that he comes back healthy and effective but probably a worthy one.
-Doesn't take up a 40 man slot once he's on the 60 day IL
-Another veteran voice on a young team
-If rehab goes well it makes it easier (both in the clubhouse and competitively) to trade veteran bullpen depth and potentially replace Jansen with Hendricks shortly after the deadline plus whatever player(s)/prospect(s) you could get by dealing with Jansen and/or Martin.
Basically if all things go well you end up spending a few million this season to buy some more pitching prospects.

I like this move - relatively low risk to moderate reward. Certainly a worthy gamble and should be an easy guy to root for.
Would imagine this makes it more likely that Kenley is a deadline deal, if anything (which probably makes more sense anyway).

One of my favorite non-Red Sox players in the game. Yay!

@redsoxpayroll's spreadsheet has it at $10 million in incentives and with a mutual option for 2026. Not sure what source that's based on.

TJ in August 2023 means pitching in... August 2024? September? Is he a quick healer? Does this really have any impact on who will be the closer on April 2024?
Edit: I see someone has said above he should be back by the trade deadline.

Can Hendriks be added to the 60 day IL immediately?

Can Hendriks be added to the 60 day IL immediately? He must first be placed on the 40-man roster (which is why the open roster spot is nice), but then can be removed and placed on the 60 day IL. Feb 14th was the first day for the 60 day IL. |

This is like when you IR stash someone in fantasy.
Worked for Kyler Murray this year.

August TJS means he's not gonna contribute this season. Basically a 1/10 contract for 2025, which seems like a good enough deal. He was an absolute monster before he ran into his misfortune.

Never cared for his mound antics but he was a quality pitcher. Hopefully he can rebound as a 36 year old. Limited risk at 5 AAV and hopefully he’s lights out and hits every incentive.

Heck of a deal in a market where Wandy Peralta is getting 4 years. Between Paxton coming back last year for less and this signing I'm assuming the Sox medical and rehabilitation staff must be viewed pretty positively throughout the league.
