Any member of Boston media still suggesting the Sox got “nothing” for Betts is outing themselves as a total hack. Dugie leads the AL in doubles and is playing gold glove defense. Wong is Top-3 in MLB in runners caught stealing and has proven to be an above-average slugger.

If the Sox don’t make some type of move for a respectable, defensive-minded shortstop in the coming days, that will qualify as gross negligence and a clear willingness to throw this season away. David Hamilton is not the guy. Pablo Reyes has never and will never be the guy.

Steamer is currently projecting the following stats for Masa Yoshida in 2024: .291 AVG .821 OPS 17 HR 73 RBI 71 R 120 wRC+ Would you be happy with these kinds of numbers from him in his second MLB season? I’d argue this is underselling his potential just a tad.
