May we exchange words about Lucas Giolito?

[Frayed Knot]

This sounds like he may never throw a pitch for the Sawx
It's a two year deal where the second is a player option.

[metsmarathon]

i mean, he'd be an absolute dunce to opt out if he missed the whole year, right?

[Frayed Knot]

Unless there's some kind of clause involved -- 'You must pitch at least 40 innings in order to use your opt-in' -- it's gotta be
an automatic from Giolito's pov, especially since he likely won't know at the end of '24 whether or not the '25 season will
be a total loss or just a partial one.
