In a wild offseason, both the Bombers and BoSox made big acquisitions. Boston arguably had less work to do and wasn’t quite as active but seriously bolstered its rotation.

The One-Man Stimulus Package

There is a lone African American out there who all are turning to. The ship has gone terribly off course – especially over the past few months – and only he apparently can set it straight.
