Over the past two seasons the "surprising" Oakland Athletics have won more regular-season games than the Red Sox despite Boston's 108 wins in 2018. Over that period the Tampa Bay Rays have won six fewer regular-season games than the Sox. But the World Series flag flies in Boston.

If Eduardo Rodriguez were traded, what would the Red Sox starting rotation look like in 2020?

We're apparently in agreement on the answers to the three questions.
-
A sports franchise probably is not as attractive to outsiders as the team is to its hardcore fans.

Brandon Nimmo has never played third base: https://www.baseball-reference.com/register/player.fcgi?id=nimmo-000bra

As posters on this forum are. Or not.

Ken Rosenthal likely has sources that we don't. Or not.

Only Sweet Caroline and Dirty Water. Or not.

Because of its charm, every baseball fan should be encouraged to see one baseball game at Fenway Park. But, because of its lack of amenities, not necessarily a second game.

The Red Sox indeed lead the majors in number of pitches: https://www.baseball-reference.com/leagues/MLB/2019-pitches-pitching.shtml Last year the Red Sox ranked 25th: https://www.baseball-reference.com/leagues/MLB/2018-pitches-pitching.shtml -
The Los Angeles Dodgers have a highly ranked farm system despite winning seven straight National League West titles with at least 91 wins each season: MLB farm system rankings 2019 WWW.MLB.COM There's a reason that every time a new general manager gets hired, he preaches the goal of building a strong farm system. Developing homegrown talent is the most efficient way of constructing a winning big league club, by graduating youngsters to the Majors or using them in trades for more https://www.baseball-reference.com/teams/LAD/

In losses.
-
So far this year the Astros have handed out 49 losses to American League West opponents. That's not inflating the division's win total. The AL West, like all divisions, has a cumulative .500 record in intra-division games. While the AL East had an overall cumulative losing record entering Friday's games, the AL West was 35 games above .500. But, hey, the Orioles beat the Mariners on Friday.
-
The Yankees and Rays are a combined 73 games above .500 while the Orioles and Blue Jays are a combined 84 games below .500. The Red Sox fatten their win total playing in an American League East that has a cumulative record under .500 (381-383). In contrast, the stronger and more balanced American League West has a significantly better cumulative record at 400-365.
