The Boston Red Sox were riding a high after a 2018 season that included 108 regular-season wins and a dominant postseason run that resulted in the team’s fourth World Series championship since the turn of the century. Unfortunately, that high lead to a very bad decision when they decided to keep starting pitcher Nathan Eovaldi around with a four-year, $68 million dollar contract.
This can be argued as the most irresponsible thing that former president fo baseball operations Dave Dombrowski did during his tenure in Boston.
Before this starts to look like an Eovaldi hate piece, I’ll give you a disclaimer.
