Red Sox personnel
The Red Sox front office and managerial leadership lack the necessary expertise to construct a championship-caliber team that emphasizes modern power-hitting.
PR misdirection
Front office communications prioritize public relations damage control over addressing the team's objective decline in offensive production.
Roster needs
Acquiring secondary hitters is insufficient; the club requires a marquee slugger to anchor the lineup and demand respect from opposing pitchers.
Training methods
Reliance on machine-based training to improve hitting against elite velocity is an unrealistic strategy compared to simply acquiring naturally gifted power hitters.
