They are coming off an 8-19 July, one of the worst months in team history.Ī month ago, when the Red Sox were on the heels of a 20-6 June, it was easy to dream about President of Baseball Operations Chaim Bloom adding a big bat or a power arm to complement a roster that seemed poised to make a run into October.
