FORT MYERS -- The Red Sox may not have the kind of competition for the fourth and fifth spots in their starting rotation that was expected all offseason.
Instead of watching Drew Pomeranz, Eduardo Rodriguez and Steven Wright battle it out on the mound, the Sox may have to let this fight take place in the trainer’s room.
On his first day of speaking to reporters from JetBlue Park, with pitchers and catchers officially arriving tomorrow, manager John Farrell said that neither Wright nor Pomeranz is expected to throw off a mound for at least a week.
