Very, very strange contract. 4 years $54 mil. First 3 years are 3-$39 mil. Final year is a $15 mil option with a $15 mil buyout. If the White Sox go the buyout route, Hendriks gets the $15 mil deferred in future payments. Never seen a contract where the only benefit to the option being exercised for the player is not the amount of money, but when they’d receive it
Hal sucks
MLBTR is calling it a 3 year/54 million contract. But with the deferred money I assume the AAV will be lower than 18 mill.
Surprising to say the least.

The Red Sox are 8-1 in their last 9 postseason games against the Yankees.
So, about that down market...

When a journeyman reliever with 3 good years under his belt at age 31 gets that kind of contract...
Maybe small sample sizes do impress some GMs, although his last 110 innings may be kind of a large sample size for a RP'er from 2019-2020. (Only Beeks had more RP IP than Hendricks.) Going more than 1 IP has a lot of value.

When you say it's gonna happen now
When exactly do you mean?
... it might make Cleveland rethink the whole "Brad Hand/option" thingy...
Not those misers.

Should make the Sox rethink not grabbing him then.
