With the Boston Red Sox visiting the Milwaukee Brewers for a rare three-game series, there’s been only one storyline circulating the Boston media: Travis Shaw’s emergence as a force in Milwaukee and what a mistake it was to trade him this offseason.
It’s been blown out of proportion, but it started for a legitimate reason. As one could have likely predicted in March, the third basemen, and there already have been several, who have suited up for the Red Sox have been brutal.
The Red Sox are receiving a .222/.264/.333 slash line from the hot corner, resembling something from a post-rookie-year Will Middlebrooks.
