As I said several weeks ago. This is a team with plenty of injury-prone and overrated players which sure, time to time can post good seasons an be close to make the WS but will never be good enough to win a ring. It has been a decade. The sample is large. Things on paper looked good, but it hasn't worked. It will never work with this FO's philosophy IMO.
If you really want to splash again, you have to rebuild your entire organization starting with the GM and start selling everything you can. You won't go anywhere anyways, so guys like DJ and Torres should be in the trade block.
Days where money was the only important thing to win championships are way gone. Money is important but it requires way more. LAD is an example how an organization has to be managed in MLB these days.
Glad to see Boston has understood that with Bloom (Friedman's boy) in command. It's a new era. Adapt or Die.
