They may not want to play.
They know Betts was traded.
They know Sale is out for the year.
They know ERod is having problems.
The Sox had no intention of competing this season. None. And these three and all the others on the team are aware. So no one cares about these slumps. And it turns out, 2020 is a good year to tank.
They’re not going to try to trade Benintendi and Devers. They might dangle Martinez. And maybe Pillar and Bradley. Definitely Workman.
Don’t expect this to be a normal season. Henry, Bloom, Roenicke - none care about winning in 2020. The only possible bright spot so far - maybe they found something useful in Zack Godley...
