The Boston Red Sox are feeling the pressure as they confront a recent five-game losing streak, exacerbated by the controversial trade of Rafael Devers. Former player Chris Young highlighted the struggle of young prospects, who have not been able to rise to the expectations following Devers' departure. Promising talents such as Roman Anthony, Marcelo Mayer, and Kristian Campbell are facing difficulties at the plate, adding to the team's offensive woes. The weight of expectations now heavily rests on these young players, igniting concerns about their readiness in a high-pressure market.
"I'm at a level of panic right now... when you see the offensive struggling since Devers was traded, you have very promising young players who deserve to be in the big leagues."
"When you lose Devers, you're putting all of these young players in positions to where now they feel like they need to be the guy."
"When you're a young player, you want to be able to come into the big leagues and get your feet wet a little bit... in a market like the Boston Red Sox... the pressure now naturally goes to these young players."
