I could see the Sox taking a dirt cheap flier on Kluber, assuming he can pass a physical. But Bloom's success story Charlie Morton is also probably on the radar, and he is familiar with Chris Archer as well. And there is the possibility of someone like Cole Hamels or Jake Arrieta receiving a short term deal...
Morton is from Delaware and wants to be on the east coast. Granted, he did say he was going to retire after this contract
Hal sucks
We've all heard that before.
However, in the case of Morton, reportedly he was surprised at how much money the Astros offered him when he heard "2 years at $8million." apparently he assumed it was $8mill total for the two years, not for each year. So he might be more than happy with his earnings and simply go home.
I certainly would not blame him for not signing with a team in as much flux as the current Red Sox...
"Trending towards done" could catch on.
