The mid-season trade that brought Drew Pomeranz to town certainly didn’t go as well as the Boston Red Sox expected.
The lefty was in the midst of a breakout season at the time, but what we witnessed from him on the mound during his time in Boston was a far cry from the performance that earned him a spot on the National League All-Star squad.
If Pomeranz didn’t seem to be 100 percent down the stretch it’s because he wasn’t. The left-hander admitted over the weekend that he dealt with some minor elbow discomfort, which may have been a factor in his performance falling short of expectations.
