Red Sox management was safely ensconced within a corporate cone of silence on July 31st as the trade winds blew elsewhere. Disappointment? Frustration? Anger? The expected emotional response from within Red Sox Nation, but there are still positives and this certainly is one.
Catchers have a physical appearance that is easy to determine from fellow teammates and Christian Vazquez certainly fits the traditional mold. At 5’9” and 200 pounds the terms stocky and blocky can apply. And you could apply a financial bargain based on what return the Red Sox are getting on Vazquez’s $13.3 MM three-year extension.
