How about ‘if’ the Red Sox start falling apart? Why is signing free agents ‘dumping money…’? Championship teams that were quite dependent on free agency have certainly been created in recent times – the 2013 Sox come to mind. John Henry’s money is certainly in no danger of running out.
2020 will also bring changes for the good and the Sox will certainly sign some of their homegrown free agents.
I would agree that Dombrowski has work to do in rebuilding the farm system. Theo and Cherington left a lot of toys for him to play with, now we get to see if he can restock the shelves.
