"Garrett Crochet, Roman Anthony, Alex Bregman and, in a round-about way, Rafael Devers, all made sure of that. But the mere fact that, after coming to the Sox as a castoff from the worst team of all-time, Romy Gonzalez became one of the biggest storylines of the season is pretty remarkable in and of itself. That's what happens when a lefty-masher learns how to put up league average numbers against righties."
"And while things look good for the Sox postseason hopes, there are some troubling things on the field going on, including one thing we didn't think we didn't think we'd need to worry about: Trevor Story's defense. He has made five throwing errors over the last seven games (and six errors overall) and while it's way too soon to start talking about the yips, its definitely not good."
Romy Gonzalez transformed from a castoff into one of the season's biggest storylines by improving against right-handed pitching. Garrett Crochet, Roman Anthony, Alex Bregman and Rafael Devers also contributed significantly to team performance. Payton Tolle and Connelly Early provided early looks that could lead to long-term rotation roles. Pitching prospect performance beyond those two remains a focus. Trevor Story has displayed alarming defensive issues, committing five throwing errors in seven games and six overall, raising concern about potential mechanical or mental problems. Dustin May is throwing live batting practice while battling elbow neuritis and must prove health for postseason roster consideration. The postseason berth is not yet technically clinched, though team optimism is evident.
