Renfroe has appeared in 3 games at Fenway Park. He went 4-for-11. Two doubles, two HRs. Bloom thinks his power will continue to play at Fenway. #RedSox

Bloom says that if the season was starting today, Alex Verdugo would be best-suited to play CF. Says Renfroe and Benintendi have the ability to play there too.

Sox didn't need another LHB in the OF. If used solely as a platoon, I think Renfroe is the better fit. I'd also be a little worried about what happens when Dahl no longer hits in Colorado.

Renfroe added to the payroll here: https://bit.ly/3i1pEAD
Comes with 2 options and three years of control (2022 and 2023 are arbitration-eligible seasons).
Sox up to ~$170.9MM for 2021. #redsox
@IanCundall
The Renfroe signing makes a ton of sense for Boston as it gives them flexibility going forward to see how the CF market develops. Renfroe could be the opening day RF with Verdugo in CF or he could be the 4th OF and play primarily against LHP who he has a career .912 OPS against.
If they can snag a glove first CFer, I'd be happy with putting the rest of the $$$ into pitching.
All I will say on the subject is that Chief Wahoo wasn't honoring first nation people. MLB was right to get rid of the logo in 2018.
Stanford did the right thing back when Nixon was President. It's good that Cleveland is doing it now.
Is there even a bandwagon at this point? Most people in New England have watched the Sox off and on for their whole lives. Who is left off of the wagon at this point? Liverpool fans?
