Report Red Sox Closing Secret Deal To Sign Blue Jays MVP In A Blockbuster Trade
The results of recent seasons have disappointed Boston Red Sox supporters. The general consensus among fans is that John Henry and the other members of the Fenway Sports Group are not attempting to return a World Series to Boston.
Even if it’s a somber revelation, it’s preferable to the alternative.Season after season, the Toronto Blue Jays have beenggars for a championship. Their ownership made record-breaking spending on the 2024 season, and given their huge budget, their American League East assignment is disappointing.
Even the possibility that Toronto would want to move its two stars, Bo Bichette and Vladimir Guerrero Jr., began to circulate. Subsequently, general manager Ross Atkins explained that although both transactions “[don’t] make sense” for the team right now, neither player has shown enough to merit long-term extensions when their contracts expire.
Despite having a strong effort against the Red Sox to start the series, Justin Turner has not had a great season with the Jays. Currently batting.232/.322/.369, he has the league’s worst bat speed. Nearly halfway through the season, his $12 million contract hasn’t looked terrific.
George Springer has also struggled with his offensive game. With two seasons left on the biggest deal in Blue Jays history, he’s slashing just.197/.289/.289. Their mediocre starting ERA is ruined by their fifth-highest bullpen ERA in the league. Due to elbow problems, their standout closer Jordan Romano has been out of commission. On June 17, the Red Sox launched four home runs on 11 hits against their pitching staff.
Moreover, Toronto’s offensive has not been very effective. It has the third-lowest slugging percentage, fifth-fewest RBI, and fourth-fewest home runs in the league.
The Red Sox have performed better than many observers or fans anticipated, which is bad news for the Blue Jays. For the majority of the season, Boston has maintained its hold on third place in the AL East despite suffering numerous injuries. The Jays and Rays have traded at the bottom this season, but the division has gotten accustomed to the Sox finishing last in previous seasons.
Though neither outcome is perfect, Red Sox fans may be better off than Toronto’s record payroll for subpar performances after four seasons of suffering at the hands of apathy from ownership. The Blue Jays’ poor financial decisions will not be tolerated in the fiercest baseball division.
