Yes.
And to add to what you have said there is absolutely no reason why you should have to tolerate last place finishes at all ( except in the most extreme of circumstances ) with the money in this organization. This team should be at the very least competitive most if not every year.
I doubt very much if the Sox finish first, proceed through the post season and then lose in game 7 or the series to a great team in a close game that you will be pissed Or even if the Sox play well all season but just fall short in a tight race. You will be disappointed for sure. But you won't be doing much complaining.
