"The slow drip of bad Romy Gonzalez news has reached its inevitable conclusion, as Gonzalez just underwent surgery to repair a tear in his left labrum. Believe it or not, this is not the worst case scenario. He'll go on the 60-day IL and then likely need a lengthy rehab period, but he should be back sometime in mid-summer."
"It actually sounds like the Sox and Coulombe first approached each other about a deal at the beginning of the offseason, so Coulombe had a relatively stress-free winter watching his kids play soccer and jogging around his Dallas-area neighborhood in his cleats."
"Despite making history, Braiden Ward remains a big long shot to make the opening day roster. Connelly Early, on the other hand, entered Spring Training legitimately hoping to win a spot in the rotation. But while MLB's service time rules are making that look unlikely right now, he's trying not to let it affect him."
Romy Gonzalez had surgery to repair a torn left labrum and will spend 60 days on the injured list before a lengthy rehabilitation period, with an expected mid-summer return. Danny Coulombe, a left-handed reliever, takes Gonzalez's roster spot after the Sox and Coulombe agreed to terms during the offseason. Coulombe missed spring training history when Braiden Ward set a record for most steals in one spring training. Several rookies are competing for roster spots: Braiden Ward remains a long shot despite his record-breaking performance, Connelly Early hoped to win a rotation spot but service time rules make that unlikely, and Payton Tolle is less likely to make the team. Marcelo Mayer is competing for a roster spot with mixed results, receiving praise for recent hits but criticism for defensive play. Trevor Story and Garrett Crochet are also mentioned as key players under consideration.
