The Athletics color guy, a former player said it was a huge luxury and advantage that the Sox can basically rest one regular every day from here until the playoffs and be fine.
I think the owners see the way the wind is blowing. Baseball is becoming a regional sport, or already is, so if they want to keep the cabal together some of the more revenue rich regions will have to share with others.
it's a very deep and talented club the team has this year. it feels different than last year but again it won't matter if they can't at least make a run at the WS. They have a deeper rotation and in theory a deeper lineup if everybody is healthy. TLR will be in the spotlight then as well.
we'll see what happens, hot takes in game threads aside I'm pretty optimstic.
