I think as long as they have a lead they are being overly cautious. They saw what they needed to see early on and want to ensure he’s there for the playoffs. They know he has major arm surgery on the horizon. It’s why his contract is structured as it is and why other teams backed off. They’re just hoping it’s next year when they have more arms coming back. Gonsolin. Full buehler. May. Sheehan shohei.
