The odor you smell in the vicinity of Fenway Park is the smell of desperation. As usual, the focus for the Boston Red Sox will be pitching and the construction project has commenced. In my Captain Obvious mode, the staff needs some arms that may provide depth and that means close to quality depth. The problem is financial and Card Holders Services is not the answer.
The Red Sox could expand payroll and that seems to be treated the same way by management as contracting Ebola. Money is coming off the books and in the financial circus money will be added to the books so you turn over a few baseball rocks hoping the nugget you occasional find is not fools gold.
