There are no words in the English dictionary that could convince me that adding a decent closer at the deadline was going to somehow transform the Sox under performing starters .
In regard to adding to the team from last year the Sox are already the highest spending team in baseball the last 2 years so it’s hard to complain about them not going over the top tier of the cap.
That said DD did not spend well on Eavoldi and Pearce in the off season , as they have both been non factors , and the bullpen was short of quality from the get go.
