Red Sox give up pitching potential in order to save money compared to what they'd have had to give Alonzo. The raiding of the farm system as a way to keep being cheap continues.
"That team that went into the tank last year, and is now having a fire sale to get rid of everyone... Let's get their players instead of getting really good ones!"
Koji Uehara's 2013 season with the Boston Red Sox is etched in baseball history as a masterclass in relief pitching.
After stepping into the closer role mid-season, Uehara delivered one of the most dominant performances ever witnessed, boasting a microscopic 1.09 ERA and fanning 101 batters over 74.1 innings.
His pinpoint control and devastating splitter not only earned him the ALCS MVP but also played a crucial role in Boston's World Series victory, where he recorded the final out against the St.
Louis Cardinals.
This remarkable season cemented Uehara's legacy as one of the game's elite closers and a fan favorite at Fenway Park.
