Silverman: Red Sox look for long marriage with Drew Pomeranz

NEW YORK — Heart-shaped Jacuzzi?

Check.

Mongo-sized strawberries covered in dark chocolate?

Check.

Gold-gilded bottles of champagne on ice?

Check.

Welcome to the Drew Pomeranz-Red Sox honeymoon suite, where there’s a whole lot of tender love and unbridled joy going on right now in these hazy, lazy, dreamy days before Pomeranz throws his first pitch for his new team next Wednesday.

The chemistry and electricity are easy to understand, especially from the Red Sox’ perspective. Pomeranz turned his career around as a starter, he’s still young, he’s not a free agent for another two-plus seasons, not to mention the desperate hankering they had for a quality starter.
