Red Sox: Worst Start in Over a Century

0:00It's April 7th. Welcome in, this is MLB News Today, where the game meets AI, I'm Cory with the story. Boston Red Sox are off to their worst start in over a century, sitting at two wins and eight losses, dead last in Major League Baseball. This marks just the 9th time in their 126 year history, they've dropped 8 of their first 10 games. Despite high expectations and a ton of talent on the roster, they're struggling big time right now. ESPN pegged them as the 9th best team overall coming in, but also one of the most polarizing squads in the league. That prediction hit the nail on the head early, with losing streaks piling up fast. They grabbed a win on opening day, then dropped 5 straight before snapping it with a victory against the San Diego Padres on April 3rd. Fans and analysts are stunned by this disaster mode, especially after key trays that were supposed to fix things. The Rafael Divers Dio bond outside of dumping his contract, and Alex Bregman brought in as a replacement, lasted just one season.

1:00It's bad optics for a team already short on good vibes. Lately, they've hit another 3 game skid, including two hard breaking 8-6 losses. Plenty of season left to rebound, but this is every front office's nightmare scenario. They desperately need a victory tonight against the Milwaukee Brewers to stop the bleeding and shift the momentum before it gets uglier.
