Right-hander Eury Perez, one of the best pitching prospects in recent years, will undergo Tommy John surgery and miss the 2024 season, per the Marlins. In a year of awful pitching injuries, this is among the worst: a 20-year-old handled with immense care still gets hurt.
Heard on sportstalk, down here in HOU, that the Astros are first in OPS and several other offensive categories and 6th in pitching, but are still 2-5.
When you say it's gonna happen now
When exactly do you mean?
I know -- if only the Red Sox could've started off 2-5 instead of 5-2, then they'd be ranked higher in ESPN's first POWER RANKINGS, like the Phils, Astros, Ms, Rays and Jays...
... five teams with losing records ranked most powerful than #13 Boston.
Like, what's the use of even writing such a stupid article.
I'd call the continued existence of "Power Rankings" another example of media's belief that the general public has an insatiable need for any kind of information, no matter how stupid and pointless.
Championships since purchase by John Henry group: Red Sox 4 Yankees 1
The Red Sox are 8-1 in their last 9 postseason games against the Yankees.

LHP Jordan Montgomery has hired Wasserman’s Joel Wolfe & Nick Chanock as his agents, per sources.
Montgomery was one of the Boras Four, who were unsigned late into free agency.
I projected he would get 5 yrs, $106M and he eventually signed for 1 yr, $25M w/Arizona on March 26.
Wonder if any other Boras clients bounce.
Much like last season, we see some surprise starts by a few teams:
9-3 PIT
9-4 KCR
7-4 DET
4-10 HOU

Mookie Betts has a 1.8 bWAR on April 14. Not a joke.
