Well, good thing we have physicals to assess and determine his current health and team doctors that we could consult prior to the signing. Obviously we were aware of his injury prior to signing. And yes, there is always risk involved when he comes to injuries and coming back healthy and stronger. It's a $3.25M investment. Worse case scenario is that it becomes a sunk cost, and the best case scenario is we have a legit closer that we can either extend or trade at the deadline.

Agreed on it being worth the risk. As far as physicals, I am assuming the Rays did all that and he didn't play at all for them.

Best case only a few weeks? That doesn't sound positive at all.
