There is a glaring lack of depth to the Boston Red Sox pitching staff that was more evident than it has been at any point this season during a pair of brutal defeats at the hands of the Cleveland Indians.
This isn’t the same Indians team that has dominated the AL Central for the last three years, led by a pair of emerging superstars. Francisco Lindor is off to a slow start after his season was delayed by an ankle injury while Jose Ramirez has been a shell of his former self. Michael Brantley bolted to Houston and Edwin Encarnacion was traded away.
