The Red Sox are very much in need of a spark right now, especially offensively. This is a team that, coming into the season, was expected to be more or less carried by its offense. Instead, they’ve gotten largely excellent starting pitching (especially lately) but the offense is giving no support and the bullpen can’t hold the small, low-scoring leads. Some of that should change with time, but as they continue to lose ground in the playoff race already this early in the season, the organization can’t just sit on its hands and hope everything turns around. The first big change of the season seems to be coming on Friday.
