After almost two years of rehab, Patrick Sandoval is back. The idea of paying someone fresh off of Tommy John surgery $18 million to rehab has been met with plenty of criticism, but Sandoval's 529 strikeouts in 536 career innings with an ERA just over 4 can provide some stability if healthy.
The Sox stormed out to a 3-0 lead: one run in the second two in the third, all manufactured. Then Brayan Bello's wildness caught up with him, and he exited with a bases-loaded situation and the Sox up 3-1.
I think it was good. Came up, obviously a young guy, didn't really know what to expect. Obviously struggled at the start. Being in a new clubhouse, being around guys who had show time, kind of everything, playing against better competition. I think just getting up here, getting my feet wet, it made the transition coming into this year super easy, just because I'm pretty comfortable.
