You know that happened in June, right?

That's season-starting rank.

There were also bright spots, too be sure. Breslow now has a lot of work to do. Need to figure out the outfield and hopefully use that to solve other issues. There's a foundation though. They just need to make the bold moves to capitalize.

The attrition just caught up to the Red Sox. Losing Casas, Anthony, Mayer, Houck, Crawford, Dobbins, Fitts, Criswell, Hendriks to injury, Buehler ineffective, Campbell giving nothing after April, and the Devers debacle, it's kind of impressive they even made the playoffs.

One man's guess at the wild card roster.

SPs aren't in any particular order.

Early is off but comes back if they advance. Don't need a 4th starter in a 3-game series.

LF Duran SP Crochet
SS Story SP Bello
3B Bregman SP Giolito
DH Yoshida
2B Gonzalez CL Chapman
CF Rafaela SU Whitlock
RF Abreu RP Matz
1B Lowe RP Wilson
C Narvaez RP Slaten
RP Weissert
C Wong RP Kelly
IF Hamilton RP Tolle
OF Refsnyder LR Harrison
UT Eaton
UT Sogard

Unless Bernardino is ready or if they would prefer another RHP with Harrison (or Early) sliding to the bullpen.

David Specht @dlspecht.bsky.social · 13d

Does that mean that Tolle probably makes the first round roster?

Nice little "thank you for your service" to De Leon, who'll immediately be DFA after the season I presume.

For those curious, 40-man was at 39.

Murphy will be down for 15 days barring injuries, so he's not an option until WS.

Mac Cerullo @maccerullo.bsky.social · 13d

The Red Sox selected RHP José De León to the active roster from Triple-A Worcester. He will wear number 78. To make room, Boston optioned LHP Chris Murphy.

Red Sox magic number is now 1. It sets up a potentially awkward situation.

Lucas Giolito is 5 IP away from 150, which would trigger a $250k incentive. He'd pitch game 162 on regular rest, but all involved surely would prefer he sit.

Will the team consider just paying the $250k?
