Further away than a team we play four more times this year? If we traded him to an NL team, we could have theoretically faced him in the World Series for seven games.
Exactly. It would be one thing if we traded him to the Yankees or Orioles. But you don't not make a trade because it will result in you possibly facing the player four times the entire rest of the year.
So we've moved on from complaining about the amount of terrible minor leaguers we got in return for Youkilis and now we're complaining about the lack of a pinch hitter in a 7-2 game?
2012
There once was a team from Boston
Who saw April as kind of a dry run
When they would go on a streak
The fans they would freak
But every time that they won one they lost one
I stated that the Red Sox currently had $95 million committed to 2014, hence why the figure would not include team options they haven't activated (Lester) or arbitration offers they haven't made (the rest).
