Red Sox playoff chances weakened by inactive trade deadline
The Red Sox have slim playoff chances after they did nothing to add depth to the team. Dave Dombrowski is content with the team they have now.
With the Boston Red Sox doing nothing at the trade deadline, what does that mean for their playoff chances? It’s not great. They have a dire need for bullpen help and failed to address this concern.
The Red Sox are currently out of the playoffs, a drastic change from when they ran away with the division title last year. Their entire relief pitching staff has 4.54 ERA so far this season, per Fan Graphs. It needs to be lower than that if they want a playoff spot.
