At the start of every softball season after age 40 when asked if I was in shape my answer was, "round is a shape". That is how I feel about the shape of the Red Sox Roster right now. It is taking a shape.
Even though Benintendi has been disappointing, he is a much superior offense player to Kiki Hernandez. It isn’t even close. And his contract is less expensive. I don’t see the big rush to send him out the door.
I think 10 times was hyperbole. We will not get Ozuna for the $12 million, but the extra $12 million could help landing a pitcher or Ozuna when added to the remaining budget.
