Get ready for fascinating stretch at Fenway 30 minutes ago Ian Browne
Ian Browne @ianmbrowne
It is hardly hyperbolic to say that the homestand the Red Sox have coming out of the All-Star break is crucial.
Why is it so important?
This is why: A 48-45 team that has battled inconsistency, sloppiness and injuries of late -- and not necessarily in that order -- needs to prove to chief baseball officer Chaim Bloom that he should buy instead of sell heading into the Aug. 2 Trade Deadline.
Over a 10-day, 10-game stretch at Fenway Park that starts on Friday -- with a three-game series against the Blue Jays, followed by four against the Guardians and three against the Brewers -- the Sox, quite simply, need to get back on track.
If they don’t, the ramifications could be seen on the transaction wire and in change-of-address forms.
Once the homestand ends, the Sox travel to Houston for a three-game series. The second game of that series vs. the Astros is played two hours after the Trade Deadline.
Standings-wise, the Sox could be in worse shape than they are (two games behind Toronto for the third American League Wild Card spot) when you consider the way the team has played of late.
In a two-week stretch in which all 14 games were against the Yankees and Rays leading into the All-Star break, Boston went 4-10.
Not only that, but the last time the Red Sox played baseball, lefty Chris Sale suffered a broken left pinkie finger in the first inning on a 107 mph laser beam off the bat of Aaron Hicks.
That day, you could feel the air come out of the Red Sox as they were pounded, 13-2, by the Yankees. The deflation was easy to understand. Sale had spent months rehabbing from a stress fracture in his right rib cage. And he was brilliant in his first start back five days earlier when he fired five shutout innings against the Rays. He was viewed as a crucial part of the team’s playoff push.
Now, there is no guarantee Sale will pitch again this season. On Monday, the lanky ace underwent surgery. The club termed it an “open reduction and internal fixation of a left fifth finger proximal phalanx fracture."
Whatever the technical terms are, it doesn’t sound good.
Does Bloom think the Sox can be a championship-caliber team with Sale contributing minimally -- if at all -- for the stretch run?
His actions will answer that question. The Red Sox will try to give Bloom something to think about.
It’s hard to believe Bloom would trade Xander Bogaerts (who has an opt-out clause he is likely to exercise following the season) or Rafael Devers (eligible for free agency after ’23) during this trade season.
These are cornerstone players. And a trade of either popular All-Star would be a big blow to the clubhouse and the fanbase. It’s more likely the club will try to negotiate with them in the offseason in an effort to keep one or both of them long-term.
But there are other important parts of the Red Sox engine Bloom could trade off in the next couple of weeks if he finds a proper match. J.D. Martinez, Boston’s third All-Star, is a free agent at the end of the season. The same goes for righty Nathan Eovaldi, who has has filled in for the oft-injured Sale as the ace for the better part of the last three seasons. Catcher Christian Vázquez, another core member of the squad, is also in a walk year.
This is why manager Alex Cora half-jokingly referred to Boston’s situation in a recent radio interview as “the last dance.”
The dance may end well before the prom if the Sox have another pileup of losses leading into the Trade Deadline.
Stay tuned. This is going to be a fascinating week and a half at Fenway.

Red Sox looking 'to be better' against Blue Jays FLM
The Boston Red Sox conclude a 17-game stretch against American League East opponents when they begin a three-game home series Friday against the Toronto Blue Jays.
Boston, which entered Thursday two games back in the wild-card standings, will look to make up ground in the race after losing twice against the New York Yankees on the road last weekend.
"Obviously, the vast majority of the games are going to be against the division," Red Sox manager Alex Cora said. "We knew it was coming into the season. You see the schedule and you play a lot of games at the end. We have to be better. We have to finish games."
The Red Sox have at least nine games left this season against each of their divisional opponents and will be looking to bounce back after dropping two of three at Toronto from June 27-29.
While the Red Sox were off, it was a busy week for Rafael Devers, Xander Bogaerts and J.D. Martinez, all of whom helped the American League to a ninth consecutive All-Star Game win in Los Angeles.
Devers, who was the AL's starting third baseman for a second consecutive year, is the first Red Sox player to hit 20 home runs before the All-Star break in back-to-back seasons since Manny Ramirez and David Ortiz. He hit three home runs in his last four games before the break, including two during the series in New York.
"It's great. It's just a 'wow' experience," Devers said. "I'm looking at my jersey and it says No. 2 (on the sleeve). ... I looked to the side of me and Aaron Judge has four (appearances), and then guys like Clayton Kershaw and (Paul) Goldschmidt have nine."
The Blue Jays won their last three games during a four-game set against the Kansas City Royals. They are 5-1 after a 1-9 stretch that led to the firing of manager Charlie Montoyo.
"Fifty (wins before the break) is a good number," interim manager John Schneider said. "When you look at the expectations of this ball club, you can say, 'OK, we're getting to where we need to go a little bit.'"
Toronto right-hander Alek Manoah dominated his inning of work on Tuesday, becoming just the second Blue Jay to record three strikeouts in an All-Star Game. Teammate Alejandro Kirk was his catcher.
"It's special to catch him here in the All-Star Game in L.A.," Kirk said. "Yes, we've had some experience together, but nothing like this. ... It's a great relationship between us, like brothers."
One Blue Jays player who didn't take part in the festivities was outfielder George Springer, who used the break to rest an elbow injury. He had what Schneider called a scheduled day off last Sunday.
"The rest will be good for him," Schneider said. "Over the course of the last two weeks or so, he's been a little unlucky. At this point in the season, rest may be the best thing for him."
Friday's starting pitchers had not been formally named, but Boston's Nathan Eovaldi (4-2, 3.34 ERA) and Toronto's Kevin Gausman (6-7, 2.87) could be set to pitch in Friday's game.
Eovaldi returned from the 15-day injured list (back) and pitched 4 1/3 innings in Boston's eventual 5-4 extra-innings win at New York on Friday. He allowed three runs on six hits in a no-decision.
Gausman took the loss in his start last Thursday against Kansas City, allowing two runs in six innings. He has allowed just one earned run in 21 innings over three starts against Boston this season.

RED SOX NOTEBOOK Toronto rolling out aces; Sox will start Eovaldi, Crawford in upcoming series By Julian McWilliams Globe Staff,Updated July 21, 2022, 8:18 p.m.
Nate Eovaldi will take the ball Friday against the Blue Jays in what will be just his second game back from the injured list.
Eovaldi, who was sidelined with right hip/back tightness, grinded his way through 4 ⅓ innings for the Sox against the Yankees on July 15, allowing three runs on six hits and a homer in what was a 5-4 Red Sox win.
Eovaldi’s velocity was down a couple of ticks and his four-seam fastball had the shape of a two-seamer, but he said that had to do with getting his mechanics on the right track again. The righthander has made two starts against the Blue Jays this year, going a combined 11⅔ innings and allowing just three runs.
Kutter Crawford is coming off his best start of the season against the Rays last week and will take the spot of Chris Sale for Saturday’s start. Sale was originally scheduled to start but took a ball off his left hand on an Aaron Hicks comebacker on Sunday, resulting in a broken pinkie. Sale underwent surgery and the team is not ruling out a return this year, but that might be optimistic.
In Crawford’s start against the Rays he allowed three runs in six innings. He also struck out six and pitched into the seventh inning, but couldn’t record an out and ultimately the Red Sox lost behind a shaky bullpen.
The Sox’ starter is TBD for Sunday. Top of rotation for Toronto
Much like their play against the rest of the American League East, the Sox have had their struggles with the Blue Jays, going 3-7 against them so far this season, and losing their most recent series in Toronto. The Sox were without some key players in that series, including Tanner Houck, who was unvaccinated against COVID-19 and could not enter the country. The Sox had a chance to win the second game of that series but lost in walk-off fashion, 6-5.
The Sox, who hit just .234 with a .660 OPS in the month of July before the break, will have a tough draw on the mound with Kevin Gausman, Alek Manoah and Ross Stripling starting.
Gausman has a 0.43 ERA in 21 innings against the Sox this year, and a 2.87 ERA overall. He’s struck out 27 batters in those 21 innings.
Manoah, a first-time All-Star, has a 2.28 ERA in 114⅔ innings pitched. He holds a 1.29 ERA in 14 innings (two starts) against the Sox.

(All games on Sportsnet)
After firing manager Charlie Montoyo last Wednesday, the Blue Jays went 4-1 under interim manager John Schneider on a homestand before hitting the all-star break.
While it certainly was a promising start, it’s worth noting that four of those games were against the lowly and short-handed Kansas City Royals, who were missing 10 players due to vaccination rules at the border.
Despite their trimmed roster, the Royals didn’t make it easy for the Blue Jays. The visitors won the opener, fell in extra innings in the third game and played tight in the finale before Alejandro Kirk’s late home run gave the Blue Jays some breathing room.
The good news for the Blue Jays is their starting rotation has been much better lately with all four of their top starters coming off solid outings.
Latest on the Red Sox
The Red Sox have been as streaky a team as you’ll find in baseball this year.
After a June in which it felt like they never lost (they went 20-6), the Red Sox are 5-12 in July, falling out of a playoff spot.
Boston won just four of its 14 games before the all-star break, all of them coming against the AL East’s top teams in the New York Yankees and Tampa Bay.
The final week before the break was a disaster with Tampa sweeping a four-game series before the Yankees took two out of three from the Red Sox, winning 14-1 and 13-2 in the final two games.
The final game was particularly painful with left-handed starter Chris Sale breaking his left pinkie finger when he took a hard shot off the bat of Aaron Hicks. He underwent surgery this week and the team can only hope Sale isn’t done for the season.
Boston’s play in the next few series will play a big role in determining whether the Red Sox are buyers or sellers at the Aug. 2 trade deadline.
Season Series
The Blue Jays are 7-3 against the Red Sox this year, including winning two of three in late June against a then-red-hot Boston team at Rogers Centre.
The final two games of that series were thrillers. Vladimir Guerrero Jr provided the walk-off single in a 6-5 win in the second game when the Red Sox didn’t have closer Tanner Houck (restricted list) before Boston won by an identical score in 10 innings the next night.
Gausman Owns Sox
Gausman, who gets the ball for the opener, has been sharp against Boston this season.
The right-hander has gone at least six innings in each of his three starts and given up only one run versus the Red Sox.
The Heat is on
Staying hydrated will be a priority in Boston this weekend.
Sunny skies with highs in the mid-30s are in the forecast all three days.

COMMENTARY
David Ortiz will be inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame this weekend. That, at minimum, the Red Sox-centric world can look forward to.
Ortiz will be celebrated in Cooperstown for being a capital-letter Star in a sport that needs more of them, but at the core, for bailing out the Red Sox time and time again. Twenty-three walkoff hits, including those three in the ’04 postseason that made him a legend before his 30th birthday.
Stretch that definition to go-ahead hits in the seventh inning or later of a game, and Baseball Reference spits out 76, including my favorite Ortiz deep cut: Oct. 5, 2003, against soon-to-be teammate Keith Foulke in Game 4 of the 2003 AL Division Series.
My tongue’s a bit in my cheek there . . . as far as actually forgotten Ortiz classics, my parents and brother were in the park on July 31, 2010, so that one always makes me smile. But back to 2003, if I may continue to ignore the present for a moment more.
A crowd reaction like you read about, for one. And Jon Miller’s call spills my favorite part about it: It was Ortiz’s first postseason hit with the Red Sox, ending an 0-for-16 start. (And it was a sun-aided double that Jermaine Dye couldn’t pull a Lou Piniella on.)
The greatest clutch hitter in Red Sox history began 0-for-16! The previous night, in the 10th inning of a tie game, Oakland intentionally walked Manny Ramirez to get to Ortiz!
Knowing how his — and our — story continued, it’s interesting to consider how things might’ve been different if he went to 0-for-17. If, instead of the 2003 season ending with a epic seven-game loss to the Yankees, it was on a meek ouster to the A’s. Do the Sox approach the winter different?
Eh. Too much reminiscing is dangerous, not to mention never entirely satisfying. Better to look ahead, and a spot that might be just as perilous.
The 2022 Red Sox have a 10-game homestand before them that may, I think it’s fair to say, be a last stand. If not solely for this team, for this multi-year mental framing of a roster.
After these three with Toronto, four with Cleveland, and three with Milwaukee, the Aug. 2 trade deadline will be about 49 hours away and the baseball player marketplace will be heavy into bartering.
The Blue Jays plan to come out firing. Friday night, Kevin Gausman, who’s allowed one earned run and fanned 27 in three starts against the Sox so far this year. Saturday, Alek Manoah — two earned runs and 13 strikeouts in 14 innings. Sunday, Ross Stripling, who’s had a couple starts not quite at that level against Boston, but has a 3.03 ERA for the year.
The Red Sox have Nate Eovaldi, Kutter Crawford, and a question mark. Which, at the moment, is about their best as well.
We know Toronto. Cleveland is neck-and-neck with the Sox in the wild-card race, and the Brewers lead the National League Central. If there was a time for the 2022 roster to justify it’s worth supplementing, or at the very least it’s worth keeping together for a run at the playoffs . . . well, it was the last two weeks when they went 4-10 in the division.
This homestand, however, will have to do.
Taking a wider view, it’s hard to feel like this season has been anything other than representative of the team Chaim Bloom constructed, and not just because their Pythagorean record based on runs scored and allowed is exactly what their actual record is: 48-45.
This is a .500-ish team. Maybe a little better than the 84 wins they’re on pace for — ignoring most of the remaining schedule is division games they keep losing. They hit well enough, though they’re a little Bruins-style one-liney with Rafael Devers, Xander Bogaerts, and J.D. Martinez their only regulars notably better than league average.
The pitching has been below league average, though not by much. That doesn’t feel like entirely fair to the starters, who went on a huge heater during the 20-6 June until the injuries started piling, but building a rotation with Chris Sale, Michael Wacha, and Rich Hill in it . . . there are probably going to be injuries.
And yet, because of the nature of the selloff that might be coming, there’s a grasping-at-straws bizarreness about it all. Their 12-26 record within the East really does not feel representative of the team they could be, not when their record against better-than-.500 teams is a reasonable enough 30-36 — 16th-best in the majors.
Of course, 16th in the majors is middle-of-the-road. It’s .500. It’s not playoff worthy, even in the modern-baseball October free-for-all. (Just follow it to its logical conclusion and do a 30-day, one-game stepladder that lasts the whole month, Mr. Manfred. Nats vs. A’s, winner gets the Pirates, and on up to the Yankees.)
We’ve been going on for two months now about how the Red Sox need to stake their claim to this 2022 season being worth fighting to the end for. They answered the bell in June, atoning for that 10-19 start, but they need more, lest their salvation only come from Bloom not finding their parts are worth enough on the trade market.
Ten more games at Fenway before the deadline. Ten games that this group has to make a statement, no matter what.
I bet they’d even take a sun-aided double or two at this point.

Game 94: Blue Jays at Red Sox lineups and notesBy Matt Pepin Globe Staff,Updated July 22, 2022, 9:04 a.m. After four days off for the All-Star break, the Red Sox resume their season on Friday with the opener of a three-game series against the Blue Jays at Fenway Park. The Red Sox limped into the break with six losses in seven games, including back-to-back routs (14-1 and 13-2) by the Yankees on Saturday and Sunday. They are in fourth place in the American League East and are 1½ games ahead of the last place (but surging) Orioles. Boston’s bid to get back on track won’t be easy with the Blue Jays in town. Toronto has won five of its last six, and three of four since manager Charlie Montoya was fired on July 13. Bench coach John Schneider replaced Montoya on an interim basis. The Red Sox are two games out of a wild card playoff spot. They trail the Blue Jays, Mariners, and Rays. Here’s a preview: Lineups BLUE JAYS (50-43): 1. Raimel Tapia (L) CF 2. Vladimir Guerrero (R) 1B 3. Alejandro Kirk (R) DH 4. Bo Bichette (R) SS 5. Teoscar Hernandez (R) RF 6. Lourdes Gurriel Jr. (R) LF 7. Matt Chapman (R) 3B 8. Santiago Espinal (R) 2B 9.

Martinez 6-18, Kevin Plawecki 0-2, Rob Refsnyder 4-11, Alex Verdugo 1-9, Christian Vázquez 3-21 Stat of the day: Rafael Devers is the first Red Sox player to hit 20 home runs before the All-Star break in back-to-back seasons since Manny Ramirez (2003-06) and David Ortiz (2004-06). Notes: This series wraps up a 17-game stretch against American League East opponents for the Red Sox. Boston has at least nine games left this season against each of their divisional opponents. They have yet to win a series against a division opponent. ... Eovaldi returned from the 15-day injured list (back) and pitched 4 ⅓ innings in Boston’s 5-4 extra-innings win at New York last Friday. He allowed three runs on six hits in a no-decision. ... Gausman took the loss in his start last Thursday against Kansas City, allowing two runs in six innings. He has allowed just one earned run in 21 innings over three starts against Boston this season. ... Kutter Crawford is scheduled to be Boston’s starter Saturday.
