Sox extend Porcello 4 years 82.5 mil

His latest alt attempt was a few days ago. He'll never stop trying/failing.

Haha he actually still tries to get on?

Good lord, at some point it's time to just move on

It's a bit of an overpay, but the years are fine. Porcello is only 26 and while his career ERA+ is far from impressive, he had some of the worst defenses in the league behind him in Detroit. His FIP and xFIP were considerably lower than his actual ERA for several years (especially 2013). I would like to see him get some more strikeouts though.

And now his ground ball rate's dropped signifcantly and he's even more HR prone.

The first year of his extension has gone pretty damn well.

That is has. Hopefully it can continue and fatigue doesn't set in
