Lackey Pre-Existing Condition Clause in Contract

Read it and weep. You think maybe Reagins took a look at the old man's medical report too?

Ha! Makes you wonder what is really wrong with that arm

Probably a smart move by the sux though. 85 million is a lot to put on a bad arm.

Not our problem anymore!

Good Riddance John. Have fun with that mess, Blow Sox!

First we had a Salmon and now we have a Trout, let's see the same results.

This isn't exactly old news.

But yes, it should give Boston pause.

They parenth'ed in Lackey's Fenway quote

“Blow up this [expletive]”.
Awesome.

Anyone else getting the feeling Boston may not just welcome John with open arms?

Gonna have to pitch his way out of a jam there again.

Boston's gonna welcome big john if he is healthy and pitches the way he is supposed to pitch

sans for 2 or 3 internet nerds who care about what lackey said a year ago.

It's more than just the OTW guys

The Boston Globe mentions the same “outburst” in today’s article, as does the Boston Herald.

So far they are being very nonchalant about it – while still finding a way to work it in. If he struggles at all though, we’re gonna have a first-class soap opera.

Is being a fat ass a pre-existing condition?

I hope he waddles into Spring training looking like an albino Andruw Jones

Pre-existing condition clause?

What exactly does this mean?

It is clear that the Angels front office had qualms about Lackey's arm

Their refusal to guarantee a 5th season indicated to me that the team wasn’t convinced he’ll make it through 4 seasons, and therefore was going to limit exposure to just those 4 seasons.

Time will tell if that concern was well-founded or not. But I am happier having that ticking bomb on some other roster.
