They are 16th in active cash payroll, which excludes any player on IL. I think that's a terrible way to look at payroll TBH. Doesn't make sense to exclude Gray, Crochet, etc.
We talked about the bullpen being ignored all offseason. With the rotation struggling, it's not a surprise that the bullpen is now being highlighted.
When Kelly was put in for the 10th, it wasn't going to go well. He's just a warm body at this point. He only has one year left of control. At least Watson is theoretically around for a lot longer.
Slaten should be back soon. DFA Kelly. Don't even bother sending him to AAA.
Cora didn't do anything over the past 5 years to keep his job. I don't know why being the manager of the Sox should be a lifetime contract if you've won one WS and then let your defense be top in errors almost every season and constantly be underwhelming.
Duran, Story and Durbin are all under 600 OPS. How is Durbin the only weak link in the lineup? The only guys that are really pulling their weight are Contreras and Wilyer.
