The annual baseball trade deadline yard sale has ended with the Boston Red Sox and Craig Breslow coming up on a baseball operations version of the Mendoza line. The new additions did little in the way of appeasement to the fan base expecting far more after the Rafael Devers trade.
Breslow spoke of his failure at roster adventurism, but that will do little to mollify fans expecting a pitcher capable of sliding into the rotation between Garrett Crochet and Lucas Giolito.
Breslow's lack of significant success at the trade mart is reminiscent of Dave Dombrowski's failure to shore up the bullpen in 2018.
