After Sunday’s loss to the Tampa Bay Rays, Dave Dombrowski returned home to Boston with roughly a week to mull over the flurry of challenging decisions he will be presented with before July 31. The most pressing of which will be over what to do with the team’s current platoon at third base.
On July 16, Pablo Sandoval‘s rehab stint must come to an end; four days later so must Brock Holt‘s. While the pair of injuries have allowed some time for the Red Sox to discover a solid platoon in Deven Marrero and Tzu-Wei Lin, a decision is coming sooner than later.
