I wish the Sox had signed him to this deal, because I like the player, so I am a bit unhappy about this and my initial reaction was to declare "FUCK", but as I posted in another thread, Kutter Crawford from age 25-27 is essentially the same pitcher as Jordan Montgomery was from 24-27 according to stats like FIP, HR/9, K:BB, K%, and BB%. His ERA trails by a bit, but he has also spent that entire time in from of a Red Sox defense that has ranged from "meh" to "I have to close my eyes every time a ball is in play because they are the worst defensive team of the Statcast era".
Again, I would have LOVED Montgomery on this deal for this team, but I also think that the front office thinks much more highly of the current starting pitchers on the team and in the organization than many here do, and that probably played a lot into this.
At the end of the day, I still really like the team they are going to put on the field on Thursday and am looking forward to this particular adventure being over.
