Red Sox fans slam team for ‘embarrassing’ trade deadline
NY Post
The trade deadline did not go the way many Red Sox fans envisioned it would.
With Boston occupying a playoff spot and in contention for an AL East crown, many Boston fans believed this deadline was an utter failure for team due to an uninspiring haul.
Boston acquired reliever Steven Matz and struggling ex-Dodgers starter Dustin May, while neglecting first base and failing to land a frontline pitcher.
One fan on X said, “Let’s just say it. Red Sox, this is f–king embarrassing.”
Another fan on X joked that their trade deadline was worse than a team that no longer exists: “The Montreal Expos had a better trade deadline than (top executive) Craig Breslow.”
