That is too bad about Gasper.

If Eduardo Rivera goes and pitches in the Winter Leagues again, the Sox may actually nontender him. That dude needs some time off for once.

He's had a lot of time off on the IL, but point well taken.

he did make an effort to greatly improve the offense.

The issue, like I've been pointing out al year, was that most of the offensive issues were at spots that we were extremely unlikely to change.  I doubt that any GM in BB would've traded to replace Narvaez, Story, Anthony or Duran.  They all had good seasons in 2025, and they all stunk in 2026.

Good points, but a guy as smart as Breslow knows if he wants his team to play in October, he'll figure out a way to fit in a guy with a square jaw who hits a round ball pegged really hard for long distances.

You would think so.

One might argue that that was what Mead and Rutschman were for.

Or that there was a clear need for upgrades at 2B and C, and still are, until those guys prove they're healthy and good again.
