I would take 22-year-old Vaughn Grissom with six years of player control over any of the remaining 2B options: Whit Merrifield, Tim Anderson, Amed Rosario, Adam Frazier. I was meh on the Giolito signing.

Cannot emphasize enough how huge Tanner Houck's start was tonight. Bullpen completely gassed and he goes and puts up a line of 9 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 9 K. Drops his ERA to 1.35 over 26.1 innings. Game blazed by at a cool hour and forty-nine minutes.

Kenley Jansen with his third save of the week (27th of the season). The veteran closer's ERA drops to 2.97 over 39.2 innings with 47 strikeouts to 15 walks. He's been everything the Red Sox could have hoped for in 2023 providing a steady presence in the ninth inning.

Losing Devers would be catastrophic for the Red Sox. Worse than Mookie. Worse than Xander. There is no face of the franchise at this point without him. Bad look for all parties but Raffy. They have to figure it out, grin and bear the cost if not just for marketing the team.

The Red Sox just swept the team with the best record in the MLB. Two-game series but still impressive. Came back from a 3-0 deficit against one of the best pitchers in baseball to do it. If you're not excited about the future of this club, I'm not sure what to tell you.

Are the Red Sox a flawed team with weak starting pitching? Sure. Is the offense eventually going to slump again? Yep. Are players going to get injured? Absolutely. But they're a fun team that battles and after 2022, I'm enjoying the hell out the part when things go well.

Been very happy with Reyes. Hope he's back as a…

Jarren Duran went 3-for-3 with three doubles (21) and two RBI (26) in tonight's 9-3 Boston Red Sox win. The 26-year-old outfielder is slashing .300/.360/.467 over 200 PA with three home runs and 11 stolen bases.

These are the Red Sox players that should be untouchable. No one else should be off limits for starting pitching (though obviously some make more sense than others).

Red Sox have acquired SS/2B Vaughn Grissom from the Braves for Chris Sale, per

Grissom spent a majority of ‘23 in AAA after struggling at SS. Slashed .330/.419/.501/.920 with 8 HR, 4 3B, and 36 2B.
