A miserable start to the season hit rock bottom when the Boston Red Sox were swept in a quick two-game series in the Bronx. The current losing streak has dropped them to 6-13, the worst record in the American League and 8.5 games behind a division-leading Tampa Bay Rays team they will visit this weekend. We’re well beyond the point of worrying about a slow start and trending toward a full-blown crisis.
David Price has felt the sense of urgency to turn things around quickly or else the team may face drastic ramifications. The consequences of this early-season failure could go as far as blowing up a championship roster with an epic mid-season fire sale.
