Red sox:
No longer the young gun who fired a gem at Fenway Park to lead the Cardinals to victory in Game 2 of the 2013 World Series, 30-year-old righty Michael Wacha signed with the Red Sox on Saturday, hoping that Boston will be the spot where he gets his once promising career back on track.
Stats:
Wacha is coming off a so-so season with Tampa Bay, in which he went 3-5 with a 5.05 ERA in 29 games (23 of starts).
That left Wacha available for the Red Sox at a modest contract of one year at $7 million.
It is a no-strings-attached type of deal in which Wacha will strive for a rebound while the Red Sox can reap the benefits.
Rays:
Wacha believes that ’21 was a good foundational year during which he was able to at last pitch with good health again and start to get rid of some of the mechanical flaws that he’d developed.
“I’m extremely confident,” Wacha said during a Zoom call on Saturday. “I feel like, last year, I just had some ups and downs. Felt like it clicked there for a little bit and then things wouldn’t really go the way I’d planned. But towards the end of the season, I felt like the ball was coming out and my repertoire.
Wedding:
Michael and Sarah Wacha understand this very well. They have charted their own path to love and marriage through many years of long-distance romance.
When they met one evening in St. Louis in 2014, neither anticipated that they would marry six years later in the time of COVID-19. Yet, Sarah and Michael also knew that they had clicked, and through the course of several years of long distance, they committed to their relationship and found happiness.
