BOSTON STRONG -
THE ROAD TO REDEMPTION
Koji nears important games
for his contract
August 12, 2013 ...
No game scheduled.
The Red Sox arrived in Toronto last night. Tonight Jonny Gomes, Dustin Pedroia, and Jarrod Saltalamacchia went to see the Athletics-Blue Jays day game at Rogers Centre and sat right behind home plate.
Outfielder Ryan Kalish will undergo cervical fusion surgery in Los Angeles. Kalish, 25, has spent the entire season on the disabled list recovering from January surgery on his right shoulder. He had surgery on his left shoulder and neck in 2011. This latest surgery is not considered
career-threatening. But four major surgeries over 23 months add further doubt to whether Kalish will fulfill what was once considered vast potential.
Koji Uehara is one appearance away from his contract option for 2014 vesting. The deal would be worth $4.25 million. If Uehara finishes 35 games, it would be worth $5 million. Uehara has finished 23 games this year with 42 left to play. He has 12 saves and a 1.35 ERA. |
