Photo by Maddie Malhotra/Boston Red Sox/Getty Images The Red Sox week in review dives into Trevor Story, the bullpen, and the Roman Anthony question. Now that’s more like it. At the start of this week, I thought we might be in for another MMBB where I’d have to hold my nose while writing it.

Throughout the offseason, I was fairly vocal that we didn’t necessarily need or want him on the Red Sox. There’s no doubt his arrival has shaken things up on the Sox…start with bumping Raffy off of third, and adding that right-handed bat … [Read more...] about Alex Bregman is a star off the field, too
