( Evan Drellich & Ken Rosenthal The Athletic)ĭays before players are to arrive at spring training camp, MLB presented a 130-page proposal to the MLBPA. Evan Drellich and Ken Rosenthal believe there is no reason to believe the MLB season will begin on time.

Henry plays the role of Nero while his once great franchise is creeping to decline. There just might be a plan? Maybe Plan 9 on Lansdowne Street? Meanwhile, Mr. And, of course, Nathan Eovaldi looks impressive, but the staggering reality is Eovaldi’s tender arm is as reliable as my long gone Dodge Dart.īut, hey, Cora may be right and I and other Red Sox fans can go feast on crow. High hopes for the recuperative powers of both. And for intriguing we have two tossers who, well, didn’t toss in 2020. The Red Sox are apparently all in on Tanner Houck and Nick Pivetta being linchpins for 2021. BSI’s Steven Brown covered this showcase rather well.

Teheran’s other claim to statistical notoriety is leading the National League in hit batters in 2019. In 2020, Teheran tossed a 3.4 HR/9 so quality is just a gopher ball away. The other option in showcase land is another righty Julio Teheran. Now he is part of a showcase to display his skills. Sanchez went packing to Miami when George Bush was president.

He also knows they might not be done adding to it. My concern is what they are hired to do – pitching.Īlex Cora likes the current options in the Red Sox rotation. That statement is probably accurate if those arms are shaving, picking their noses, or recreating beer and chicken. The Red Sox have added some quality arms.
