Liam Hendriks agreed to a two-year deal with the Boston Red Sox, sources told ESPN, a bet by the team that the All-Star reliever will eventually bounce back from Tommy John surgery.
Hendriks\' proposed contract will guarantee him $10 million, assuming that he passes the physical examination, with the possibility that he could earn more money through performance bonuses. Hendriks had reconstructive elbow surgery last summer, and given the typical 15-month recovery for that procedure, he may pitch late in the 2024 season, if at all. The real payoff for the Red Sox might be in 2025.
