Last season, Arroyo had a career year and a main reason for that was the amount of field time he saw because of injuries. One player I am willing to roll with this season, is Christian Arroyo. Teoscar Hernandez and Taylor Trammell each drove in two runs for the. The Boston Red Sox are probably still calling to try to find another infielder, since they are most likely moving Kike to the infield, whether it be second or shortstop. Red Sox starter Nick Pivetta (3-3) allowed four runs on six hits while walking four and striking out six in 5 1/3 innings. Like I mentioned earlier, the loss of Trevor Story is going to be a major storyline for a good part of Bostons season. Lynn didn't start the next game against tough California lefty.

Boston is handicapped money wise (even though they’re a big market team) so they have to be smart with their money. With Story being one of the top paid players in the organization right now, it really sucks to have him gone for not only performance reasons, but for salary reasons. With Story being out a projected 4-6 months, that lands him right around July for a comfortable recovery. To begin the season, Boston is going to have to try to manage without their second basemen, Trevor Story, as he recovers from off-season elbow surgery he had earlier this month. The Boston Red Sox have had a generally disappointing offseason with the loss of four-time All-Star and unofficial team captain, Xander Bogaerts.Įven though he was their main priority, you could make the argument that the Sox could be competitive with a couple more minor moves.
