Who is it that says a team is only as strong as their weakest link? With apologies (compliments?) to what management is currently calling a rotation, my sentiments are that the weakest link on this Red Sox team currently belongs to the 4. No player has logged 100 games at second base since Dustin Pedroia eight years ago in 2016, though Trevor Story, who’s shaping to be the answer at shortstop this season if he stays healthy, played 94 there while re-strengthening his arm returning from injury two seasons ago. Story ended up injuring his elbow, requiring surgery, and missing a good amount of 2023 before returning as a shortstop, where he played his entire career before arriving in Boston.
