Since 2018, excluding the short season and this season, he’s averaging 59 games played per season. 59! Do I need to spell it out for you further? He can’t be counted on, simple as that.
I can imagine it. We’d need to carry 6 starting outfielders on the roster because Buxton and Robert would be missing more than half the games every year.
Boy is it nice to have Gio back. Making Buxton look like a minor leaguer today. Get Lynn back in a few weeks along with Cueto even sooner than that and I don’t see a better starting rotation in MLB.
Doesn’t sound like the World champs clubhouse was all roses either

^to this point, the Sox’ four ALC rivals are 9-19 outside the division so far this year. Ugly. None of these teams are running away with the division anytime soon.
