That would mean most of the players the Sox have acquired are playing poorly. I'll take this year. But if the Sox are that bad next year, they need to start the rebuild all over again because the players they acquired suck.
That's not necessarily true at all. We've seen the Sox have one of the best (and cheapest) cores in baseball and still manage to be a mediocre team. If Q, Robertson, Frazier, Kahnle, etc are all traded and the Sox don't sign stop gap veterans to avoid bottoming out guys like Moncada, Kopech, Lopez, etc could all be playing well in the majors next season and this would still be one of the worst rosters in baseball.
