    They value the Open spot on the 40 man Roster, more then Johnson. Different regime, different evaluation, of him.
    Probably back to Pawtucket. Maybe make it back.

    I was kidding. Both teams are more likely to wait until waivers clear if either has any interest at all.

    I think both players will be in Asia shortly...

    Because the law of averages suggests that he might stay healthy enough this year to show if he's actually good at baseball...
    Championships since purchase by John Henry group: Red Sox 4 Yankees 1

    The Red Sox are 8-1 in their last 9 postseason games against the Yankees.

    Highly touted prospect. Assumed high ceiling level. Someone would give him an MLB camp invite.

    It’s not like the Sox have Jimmie Foxx manning first base on the parent club...
