Very nice to see! Not too long of a commit for him to not have another potential payday at age 32 but long enough for him to be tied to the next competitive window (hopefully). I like.
Dammit I was really hoping I got to this first becuase I really wanted to bump the "It's HAPPening" thread, but I guess we're not doing mega threads as much well so this is relevant for its own thread.
I'm ok with this...not the worst thing in the world to lock up homegrown talent for a second contract as long as the dollar amount is not ridiculous. Would be interested to see the years though...presumably Jed doesn't want to lock anyone up for more than 5 years and Happ probably doesn't want to put himself in a position to be seeking one last contract at a declining age.
Wasnt expecting Swanson but still sucks to not see him in the lineup. He only missed 2 total games over the last 3 seasons. Hopefully he's not out long.
The other shitty thing is, I believe reinjury chance is high if brought back too soon. Have to be patient with him returning.
Sucks if it’s bad, Swanson played in 382 out of 384 games over the last 3 season. He’s been as durable as they come.
Someone on twitter commented that he has seen Swanson hold his shoulder after throws the last couple of games so maybe that?
Really hope its not a sympathy injury with his wife.
So they might give Wesneski another start but I wouldnt be surprised if they sent him down to work out whatever is not working. But if they did who would slide into the 5th starter role?
Hendricks not ready yet. Sampson looks even worse than Wesneski but in Iowa. Maybe Assad comes back up from Iowa?
hopefully Wesneski doesn’t go all Kilian on us
