Today is game 40 of the season, that threshold that Dayton Moore used to cherish. It was his “we can’t evaluate anyone until 40 games into the season” thing. I don’t know if GMJJ believes in the same thing...Melendez was already demoted. Hunter Renfroe could be next (Canha gets the start in RF tonight).
In tonight’s threshold game, the 20-19 Boston Red Sox march into town. For a deeper dive into the series, go look at Max’s series preview here. The Fenway Boys are in second place in their division, but not all is well.
