Let's consider a 2023 contract for FA Wacha before anyone notices how he has pitched, when not IL'ed. They guy is 11-1, 2.54 ERA ( not great stats for evaluating real value), but on a team that will finish below .500 , Wacha's record glows like no other in the clubhouse
The guy who returned Judge's 60th HR received an autographed ball and bat and a couple of years of season tickets. If he had held out, he probably could have gotten $100,000.00, which is couch change for the Yankem organization.
Should be an entertaining scrum for his 61st and 62nd HR balls (assuming he hits them). Especially if they end up in the bleachers with all of those animals.Originally Posted by SPLENDIDSPLINTER
Re-signing Wacha is a priority. His record 'glows' so much compared to his fellow staters that it could cause blindness.
It'll be like 'Black Friday' at Walmart.
Wong has been calling for the DP pitch and Wacha has delivered.
If Judge doesn't homer tonight then at least fans will still get to see the record for most GIDPs in a single game.
Sox have scored 1 run in last 14 innings now. They are beyond uninteresting. The game in Cincinnati last night while not memorable may have been the least effort of the year.
With Wong the SOX may have the fastest running catcher in the league. He really can motor.
The SOX have had a lot of double digit runs this season and a whole lot of 3 runs or less. They don't seem to score much when Wacha's pitching or his record would be even better.
Much of the SOX positive offensive numbers were acquired in the month of June. What a month that was.

And don't forget 2004, 2007, 2013, and 2018. Plus the 5 last place AL East finishes in that era.
If Higishioka can make a simple out, then Judge can deliver the Slam. Except Wacha could laugh and issue an intentional walk for just 1 run
IW to Judge.
Or UIW.
Why walk him when he K's just like JDM and Bogey, waving his wand as if it had no power left. Judge is washed up and done after that AB. No one will sign him, especially not the Sox
