The 2018 Red Sox won 108 games.
Then the Red Sox beat the 100 win Yankees in 4 in the ALDS.
Then Boston beat the 103 win Astros in 5.

I wonder if Bogaerts was completely honest if he would admit he made a mistake by chasing the money.
The city of Boston loved him. He had success. And he had a chance to be one of the all-time Red Sox players.

Why are the Red Sox 9 games over .500 and only 1.5 games back of a playoff spot?

I hate this. Verdugo has been awesome all year and is 1 of the leaders on this team.
Guys like Kiké can make the same physical error over and over but Verdugo makes a mental error and isn’t in the lineup for a series finale game that the team desperately needs?
Hate it.
According to

He also won’t be in the lineup for the series finale tonight.
