The Red Sox made their first roster cuts of 2017 Spring Training—and there is a heavy emphasis on pitchers developed in the system. Pitchers
Henry Owens,
Brian Johnson, and
Brandon Workman were cut today—along with catcher
Jordan Procyshen. The pitcher cuts highlight the lack of starting depth in the Boston organization. In fact, the system hasn't developed a decent starter since the era of
Clay Buchholz and
Jon Lester (both of whom are obviously gone). For the first time since 2007, Boston's starting rotation will be comprised of
all outsiders. Yawkey Way, we have a developmental problem.
