The Red Sox’ latest embarrassing loss to the Yankees at Fenway exposed the roster flaws that Chaim Bloom and the front office failed to address in the offseason.
I put neither of those plays on the players who botched them. They're the result of the front office leaving the roster just a little bit short this winter, which they've been trying to overcome ever since.
If the Red Sox were expecting top prospect Triston Casas to arrive, they miscalculated, because he didn't look ready before being injured. And even if he had stayed healthy, why not cover yourselves with someone experienced? to a six-year, $140 million contract -- a deal that looks good so far with Story playing Gold Glove defense and on pace for 30 homers -- they pushed themselves well over the $230 million luxury tax line.
Imagine if they had given All-Star closer Kenley Jansen the $16 million for one year that he took from the Braves. That's short money for a pitcher of his pedigree, and yes, I know he just went on the injured list with a recurrence of the irregular heart beat that sidelined him in Los Angeles.
