Liam Hendriks and the Cubs have agreed to a minor league deal.
Reactions to the Deal
On behalf of Red Sox Nation, there are well-wishes for Liam. The hope is that he makes it back to the show.
One commentator is surprised he was never re-signed on a minor league deal. They wonder if he really wanted to sign on a competitive team.
Another sees it as low risk, with potential high reward.
Some are curious about his velocity.
One opinion is that he’s toast and it’s a waste of time for all parties. However, someone else countered that it’s AAA, and there’s never a waste to go dumpster diving if you try them out where it doesn’t matter.
There is a belief that he’ll improve the clubhouse culture in Iowa immensely, describing him as a great dude.
Hendriks’ Past Associations
One person always forgets he was part of that 2015 Blue Jays squad.
Someone was hoping the Jays would try to sign him again, suggesting they could use the arms. It wouldn’t have been a bad idea in their opinion. They think the Jays will rebound, but are unsure if they can catch the Yankees or Tampa.
One commenter is still shocked the Twins didn’t give him a chance this year during the regular season.
Love to see it.
