OK, the Red Sox didn't have the best offense, but look at the talent: Wilyer Abreu (who is loved like Alec Bohm by several teams), David Hamilton, and Carlos Narvaez would start for almost any other team, and they will all be scrambling for enough playing time to make Alex Cora loopy.

Nothing is more firm than Tear the Roof Off by P-Funk, with the possible exception of Erik Sabrowski, whose new slider could transform him into the next John King, which would certainly please Guardians GM Mike Chernoff, who is shopping for someone like Ryan Walker or Jayvien Sandridge, just in case.
