You shouldn't be a total pessimist about this team. 4 rings, and we've got Henry, Bloom and Cora. (And Venable and Varitek etc.)
And not far from a contending team.
Here's why it would be nice to sign Porcello on a reasonable deal. He would provide some insurance against the various health and durability issues inherent in that rotation.
My attitude is that it doesn't hurt to be optimistic about things like this. Whether you're optimistic or pessimistic, it's not going to change anything.
3 reasons:
-Short season
-COVID-19 issues
-Change in video room rules
I think JDM is a true professional with a lot of pride and he comes back strong in 2021.
