The Boston Red Sox are the only team in the major leagues to have not yet won a series this season. Standing at 6-11 entering a two-game set with the New York Yankees, and coming off a split at Fenway Park against a laughable Orioles squad, the Red Sox designated for assignment one of their more recyclable bats and versatile gloves this morning, Blake Swihart.
At the beginning of the season, Boston DFA’d Sandy Leon. Out of the trio of catchers that the Red Sox went into spring training with, Leon was by far the best defensive catcher but lacked a bat with pop.
