Red Sox officially sign P Hendricks to 2-year contract

Via a tweet from the club, the Red Sox have officially signed P Liam Hendricks to a 2-year deal with a mutual option for 2026.

Reports indicate the contract will start at $10 Million and go up with incentives.
​
At 35 years old, Hendriks battled through stage 4 non-Hodgkin lymphoma, a diagnosis he received during his time with the Chicago White Sox in the autumn of 2022. Following a triumphant completion of treatment, he made a comeback to the field on May 29, 2023. Unfortunately, his return was short-lived as he endured a torn ulnar collateral ligament after pitching in only five games.

Throughout his 13-season tenure in Major League Baseball, Hendriks has showcased his pitching prowess across 476 games while representing the Twins, Royals, Athletics, and White Sox. His impressive resume includes three selections to the American League All-Star teams and two instances of receiving down-ballot votes for the Cy Young Award. Notably, he claimed the top spot in the AL for saves in 2021 with 38 under his belt. Accumulating 727 strikeouts in 650 innings throughout his career, Hendriks is recognized not only for his ability to miss bats but also for his vibrant and engaging personality.
