It was more than a year ago that Andrew Miller was traded to the Baltimore Orioles for Eduardo Rodriguez, and Henry Owens‘ name was brought up in rumors about a deal that could bring a proven ace to Boston. Those days are long gone, and both rookie pitchers are about to end their freshman season at the Major Leagues.
It seems that the Red Sox are about to have their third last-place season in the last four years, but at least we can be hopeful about the future thanks to rookies like Owens, Rodriguez, Betts and Bogaerts.
