Exactly.
But wow has this flopped.
The guy who was supposed to at a minimum, supply IP, is out for the year.
The guy they didn’t think could supply IP is not only supplying them, but is doing so with an efficiency we haven’t seen out of him since 2018. Even if the Sox kept Sale, I would have thought the 2019 version was best case scenario.
The hot prospect has been sick, injured, absent, and ineffective when he does show up.
And the guys the hot prospect was supposed to replace each showed they are capable of carrying the team for short stretches.
And those complete and utter lack of upgrades only cost the team about $7.5mill!!
