Not surprising, but he was probably our best 5th starter heading into 2020.
Sox 4 Ever
This is about as surprising as the sun rising in the east...
Farrell didn't microfracture Wright's knee. That was the injury that really did him in.
And at some point, Wright did commit the actual dive back into the base. Pitchers pinch run all the time without doing stupid maneuvers like that. So while (and I said this at the time) Drew Pomeranz would have been a better choice since he had pinch run earlier that year for San Diego, Wright did injure himself...
Pity. He had some real potential
If history tells us anything, the path to redeption for any bad baseball team is marked with a deep rotation of durable starters, a world class defense in both infield and outfield, a lineup that can generate runs in more than one way, a bullpen that won't steal defeat from the jaws of victory, and a top end catcher to hold the whole package together. These are the conditions by which victory is achieved, anything that does not accomplish these objectives is a waste of resources.
Injuries are complex and favoring one thing can cause an injury to another part. Pedro was just an example. We don't know if the original injury to Wright resulted in the additional injuries. We only know that the shoulder injury occurred at the peak of his effectiveness thanks to Farrell.
He was a PED user and a wife beater. Fuck him.
