We're the World Series Champions, right—we weren't hallucinating about all that stuff that happened last October? OK, we
thought so. Yet,
Dave Dombrowski continues to go 'on the cheap'—bottom-feeding for two-bit relievers to 'bolster' a clearly depleted Boston bullpen. This, while the guy they
really need is former closer
Craig Kimbrel—who is surely willing to come down on his previously ludicrous asking price (now that his market has collapsed). Now, word is that
Dombrowski is trolling for the likes of:
Shawn Kelley,
Brad Brach,
Greg Holland,
A.J. Ramos,
Justin Wilson and
Oliver Perez.
Say what? Apparently, this is all in an effort to remain below the $246 million luxury tax threshold. Again, do you give a hoot whether
John Henry forks over a little more of his billion-dollar fortune to MLB? We sure as heck don't. Let's not forget, Henry is the
temporary custodian of
our franchise. Nothing more, nothing less. He needs to pay up and get this team a bullpen that won't be an embarrassment.
