Summary
The Boston Red Sox are in last place with a 22-30 record, but there’s hope in the form of 23-year-old shortstop Marcelo Mayer. While his defense has been elite, his bat has been quiet—just 2 homers and 11 RBIs in 47 games. Mayer admits he’s holding himself to higher standards and is adjusting to the big leagues, a challenge he’s faced since his minor league days. Though his offense is lagging, his minor league track record proves he’s capable of hitting for average and power. With time and patience, Mayer could turn things around—and the Red Sox might just need that spark. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
