Why can’t the Sox develop young pitching through their farm system? Is it Fenway that screws them all up?
I think the Sox are toast for this season. They were hoping for a second half resurgence with the return of Chris Sale and Nathan Eovaldi, but they lost Sale again after just one game and change, and Eovaldi didn't look right last night. Pivetta has been in a slump, too, so they don't really have any kind of starting pitching of note.
As recent results have shown, they also have zero dependable talent in the bullpen.

Agreed. Only way it could’ve been topped is if it Ohtani would have been traded!Pretty wild final 24 hours of deadline trading...

Have you heard anything about how serious Trout’s back issue is, or how long he might be out?Speaking of Ohtani, wonder if the Angels are prepping to make a big offer to him w/ their trade deadline move to unload Iglesias' 16M/year (for next 3 years) for so very little return... They also save some bits from unloading Thor's remainder of 1-year contract, but there's no potential additional, future implication re: luxury tax and revenue sharing w/ that...
