4-1 win over the Red Sox moves them to 3-2 through five games. A few thoughts,
- Reynolds is on absolute fire to begin 2023. He actually wants to be here so they need to get him locked up ASAP
- If Castro isn’t the answer at 2B, Bae (unfortunately) looks to be a very viable option. Good glove and bat so far
- Jose Hernandez could be a Rule 5 Diamond in the rough for the Bucs. Might be a nice left reliever, which is much-needed after a number of prospects haven’t panned out (eg., Crowe)
Cruz has also homered and Hayes is off to a decent start offensively. Hedges being placed on the IL doesn’t help but might expedite Endy Rodriguez’ arrival in Pittsburgh. RF remains a question mark with a couple different options.
I don’t think they’re going to make the playoffs, but they aren’t going to lose 100 games again, either.
