Tough but necessary decision. I’d sure like to see him in the Twins pen next-next year but of course there isn’t a bullpen in the league he wouldn’t fit in with if his recovery goes well.

Assuming he gets the TJ he was expected to, he won’t be ready next year and probably won’t be back to form until midway through 2017 or later.

Aren’t most TJ pitchers ***MOST*** back around a year, maybe slightly more? In that case, I seem him ready for the start of 2017.
Who knows though, how much worse he made things by pitching through it so long…

Return is about a year, but it generally takes about a half season to regain the form. And as a RP, the back to back days and workload is a bit off (warming up but not used) to the typical rehab schedule

He said “next-next year” for a reason.

Jd did you read the article? He is going to miss all of next year. So if he is in the twins bullpen he’s going to basically be taking up a spot of someone else who could be there and actually be pitching

Even paying for him to rehab with your team is worth the potential rewards of him in the bullpen in 2017. My guess is Holland is going to get a bunch of offers.
Ray Ray
But he only has one year of arb remaining. You would be paying him to rehab and then potentially losing him anyway. I think teams might skittish to sign him because of the Ryan Madson situation from a few years back. Madson was a great closer with the Phils and then got hurt and both the Reds and Angels got nothing from their investment in him. Not an exact parallel, but pretty close.
mattdsmith
That’s why they would sign him to a 2-year deal since he’s basically a free agent now.

So they don’t get a draft pick?
The Tigers need bullpen help.
