The Red Sox just got swept in the most important series of the year and this feels like rock bottom. Between an unimpressive trade deadline, squandering a chance to gain major ground in the wild card race, and Alex Verdugo being benched in the most important game of the year, this feels like a new low for the 2023 Red Sox. We’re breaking down what went wrong in the series, the Alex Verdugo clubhouse drama, Chaim’s job security with the recent slump, and Arroyo clearing waivers after being DFA'd. We also go through the updates on Story, Sale, Whitlock, and Houck. Thanks for listening and we’ll see you after the Royals series.
