Price and Porcello are okay. JD Martinez is a beast obviously. But the Red Sox are winning because they did a phenomenal job of growing superstars and making smart, well timed trades. Saying they bought this world series like some Yankee teams of the past is ridiculous.
If the Braves should have a roadmap they should be following, the path taken by the Red Sox and the Astros would be a great one to go with. Obviously we don't have the payroll that they do, but we can still build a similar contention window, we'll just have to lean a little more on our internal assets rather than being able to rely on acquiring as many external assets.
