Red Sox News
The Red Sox have hit a new low, getting swept by the Twins at Fenway for the second time this season, a bitter pill for fans watching their team flounder at 22-29. Despite Chad Tracy taking the reins after Alex Cora's firing, the on-field results remain frustratingly similar, with a lackluster offense averaging just 3.7 runs per game last week. The injury woes continue to pile up, as the Sox deal with the loss of Jonny DeLuca to the IL, leaving them shorthanded and testing their already thin roster. Meanwhile, former fan favorite Dominic Smith is thriving with the Braves, making it hard not to wonder what could have been. As Boston faces these struggles, there's a growing urgency to turn things around before the season slips further away.
