There will be risks for Boston as well. Their rotation is bad enough that they were desperate enough to take them on. Pomeranz has not been a starter over a whole season since 2012, and he still threw fewer than 150 innings that year.

Last season, mostly in relief, he threw 86 innings. Pomeranz is already at 102 innings in 2016. There has to be some question about how he’ll hold up the rest of the way. He is 27 and this is his first full season as a successful starter. Even if he has the strength to pitch in the rotation the whole year, there’s no telling whether he can keep up the form he’s finally discovered these last three months.
Lol they traded the #14 ranked prospect Anderson Espinoza for a guy that might not be able to stay in the rotation very long
