Regardless of opinion on how to run a business, particularly one as unique as the Boston Red Sox organization, having the best talent available tops all wish lists. Running a business requires many parts running smoothly as a whole, but talent is what separates the bad from the good, and the good from the great.
In the case of the Red Sox, talent has usually been well-stocked throughout the years. More specifically, their on-field talent has been comparably omnipresent throughout the years to a point where it’s almost hard to imagine a Sox team without a top-tier player or more.
