Nathan Eovaldi is the most important Red Sox player

I’m having an extremely difficult time figuring out how in the world we’re supposed to analyze and preview the upcoming season, which by the way is somehow just about two weeks away. There’s the obvious issue of COVID-19 and players testing positive left and right for the virus. Obviously there are tangible effects on the on-field product when players have to miss time, but I really can’t get over the gross feeling that comes with talking about players testing positive for a virus with unknown long-term effects in that light. Which is not to say that stuff shouldn’t be mentioned or anyone doing so is bad or wrong, but moreso that I am still trying to figure out how exactly to toe that line.
