Earlier in the week, the Red Sox made the shocking move of designating Blake Swihart for assignment. The move got Sandy León back up in the majors, and was almost certainly marking the end of Swihart era. Many people read that as blaming the catcher for Boston’s struggles thus far, which was an overly dramatic reading of the decision, but it certainly came out of nowhere and could have been too early to move on from the catcher. The good news, or at least better-ish news, is that they didn’t lose him for nothing.
