It's baseball's fault for not contracting these teams that have owners not having the money to compete. Shame on the commish for his silence re. the wrecking of a fine franchise.

The Sox have the money to spend on players.  They (JR) choose not to spend it.  To paraphrase James Earl Jones, if you build a good team, people will come watch them play.  JR doesn't care about that.  When the Sox have spent money, they spent it on crap.  Remember the friends and family plan to entice Machado?

Don't forget the "dangle the carrot" and always aim for 2nd place comments too.
