The Need for Better Starting Pitching, Demotions and Promotions

I had another Read Sox article at BP Boston this week. I focused on the state of the pitching staff and how improvements are desperately needed to keep the Red Sox in contention. I also included links about Rusney Castillo’s demotion, David Ortiz regretting his decision to announce his retirement, and the exciting promotion of Yoan Moncada.

A Bullpen In Flux, Swihart in the Outfield, and the Incredible Production of Xander, Mookie and JBJ.

I am late in getting this up, but I had another Read Sox article at BP Boston this week. In it I reviewed the state of the bullpen (and pitching staff, generally), Blake Swihart’s transition to life as a left fielder, and the remarkable offense that Xander Bogaerts, Mookie Betts and Jackie Bradley Jr. have been providing. Finally, I included a good article on how the Red Sox organization has developed since the days of Theo Epstein, and a great story about how a non-trade with the Tigers at the 2014 trade deadline ensured that Eduardo Rodriguez became a Red Sox.
