It’s so frustrating to see teams spend money to put finishing touches on their team, like Jays with Belt, while the Sox are too broke to fill giant holes.
Without knowing any of the details, I asked a doctor about this and he said it’s likely a full season also. Treatment, including chemo, and then regaining strength if all goes well.
Don’t worry, they want a defensive backup catcher and 4th outfielder according to NBB. No reason not to believe him when he says they have limited funds.
