"We’re concerned." Two words that strike mortal fear into the hearts of Red Sox fans everywhere. It's manager
John Farrell's candid assessment of
David Price's elbow 'soreness'. The lefty has had similar issues in the past—as is hurriedly pointed out by President of Baseball Operations
Dave Dombrowski—but not as severe as this problem. Just a little over a year after Price inked a seven-year, $217 million contract, he may now be facing year-ending
Tommy John surgery. Many people forget that he hurled 230 innings last year—and made 35 starts. He was his typical workhorse self. Now, the contributions of
Eduardo Rodriguez,
Drew Pomeranz and
Steven Wright become necessary and critical.
And, there may be a need to call on other arms like
Henry Owens,
Kyle Kendrick, or the newly-acquired
Hector Velazquez. Where are you,
Clay Buchholz? Oh yeah, Philly.
