BOSTON - Imagine if the Red Sox hadn’t focused on defense in spring training? Imagine how bad they might be then?

After poor fundamentals and shoddy fielding helped contribute to a last-place finish in 2022, Alex Cora properly spent much of February and March emphasizing the importance of improving the team’s defense. There were early-morning drills and plenty of attention to detail in spring training.

Thus far, however, there’s been little noticeable improvement on the field. In a candid moment before a game last week, Cora confirmed as much when he said: “We are not a good defensive team.’'

Good God, Bloom sucks. Tapia was one of the outfielders I would have kept, given his speed, relative youth and versatility. On a related note, have I mentioned how much I hate Arroyo lately? He finds ways to hurt the team even when he is not on it.

Hell baby
Tapia has no options. Not sure what they could do to keep him up here honestly.

I like the kid.
Wouldn’t be surprised if they can get a lottery ticket prospect for him, he should be pretty sought after as a depth OF. He did a good job in his role. They clearly want to keep Duran up and with Duvall coming back we’re looking at numbers crunch. Unfortunate but Tapia will get a spot somewhere.

Yeah because you can never have too much Jarren Duran. ...
