Information continues to surface regarding Pablo Sandoval – recipient of a five-year and $95 million contract on which the returns have been negligible. The culprit is noted in the seven deadly sins in which Sandoval had adopted a pair – gluttony and sloth. Last season the curtain closed early with shoulder surgery and rehabilitation.
The rehabilitation appeared to be progressing with excellent results. Sandoval was considered for a late season visit to Boston and having manager John Farrell conjuring up a few at-bats for a look-see into the future.
