Red Sox Offense Flounders, Front Office Heat Rising

0:00On April 24th, Boston Red Sox are off to a rough start this season, sitting at 9 wins and 16 losses after 25 games. That's last place in the American League East, even though they won 89 games just last year. Teams like the Yankees at 16 and 9 lead the pack after sweeping Boston, while the Rays are 13 and 11, Orioles 12 and 13. And even the banged up Blue Jays are ahead at 10 and 14. The offense is the big problem, ranking 26th and runs scored with only 92 total. Their starting pitchers look elite on paper, but the bats aren't backing them up. Take Thursday's game against New York Payton Toli, struck out 11 over six innings, allowing just one run. But the bullpen coughed up three, and Boston only scored two and afforded two loss. Fans and insiders are already buzzing about changes if this keeps up. The Athletics Ken Rosenthal set on foul territory that Chief Baseball Officer Craig Breslow could feel the heat, especially after making the playoffs last year.

They moved on from exek Hyane Bloom a few years back before his farm system rebuilt fully paid off. Bloom's prospect showed up on last season's roster, but the team struggled early in his tenure too, with less spending focused on the future. It's still early, but if the Red Sox don't spark that offense and get consistent, expect front office drama to ramp up quick. They'll need to add talent soon to chase those playoff dreams.
