So they weren’t competitive last year?
The Sox had a top ten (really, too seven) offense last year. And that was a team that got only 50 fewer plate appearances from Abraham Toro than they got from Rafael Devers, and got more PA from Romy Gonzalez than from Roman Anthony,,,
The offense should be improved this year, maybe not by much. But it will be better than many present it is in their “if you’re not first, you’re last” mentality where fans value marquee named players over good teams…
