“Farrell is over-rated as manager and cannot win with this team.”
Have to mildly disagree with that. Farrell is a competent, professional, MLB manager - someone that was missing last year. No way would Valentine have the same results with this year’s team. The RS need bullpen help for sure.
Let’s see what happens.
Good call on the NYY: who wants their overpriced players? No one at all.
a lot of teams need bullpen help.
And they need plenty of other help, too. The point is that they are resourceful and win despite their flaws. I have no confidence that Farrell can win with a flawed team. Not based on what I’ve seen, which is a passive in-game style.
The red sox are now a flawed team.
NYY want to trade minor league prospects for a major league infielder to solidify 3rd and SS. Nobody willing to trade with them.
