We’re in the final days of the season and just like that, we’re also at the final start of Rick Porcello‘s time with the Red Sox. It hasn’t been all sunshine and rainbows for “Pretty Ricky” in Beantown but it hasn’t been a disappointment either. As this season concludes Porcello will hit the free-agent market with plenty of uncertainty ahead for the righty.
He came to Boston through a trade with the Tigers in December of 2014 and would soon be given a contract extension by then General Manager Ben Cherington. With a 4-year/$82.5M deal signed, sealed, and delivered, Rick would be with the Red Sox for the foreseeable future.
