“I’ve always said I wanted to pitch until I was 40 and this means after this one I should be able to hopefully go longer than that.” “Depending on what happens contract-wise, who knows if I’m going to need that little showcase at the end of the season to be able to get a job. We’ll take that as it comes. The plan is to pitch and we’ll see how it goes.”When Hendriks signed with the Sox in January 2021, the deal included the Sox holding a $15 million option or $15 million buyout for 2024. If the option is declined, the buyout will be paid in 10 equal installments between 2024-33.
Hendriks went on the injured list with right elbow inflammation on June 10. He made clear that he didn’t feel he rushed back from the cancer treatments.“It was something I’ve dealt with before and I felt I could throw through it and it just kept kind of compounding on each other,” Hendriks said of the elbow discomfort. “I’m not exactly one to say I can’t pitch and went out there and took the ball for as long as I can and unfortunately it ended up this way.
“There’s nothing I have done myself that has caused anything I’ve gone through — the elbow maybe a little bit with the way I pitched and the way I want to pitch and the way I want to be on the mound. There’s nothing I can do to change it. If you don’t have a positive attitude with certain things it will derail all the progress.
