Plus between Lowe, Reynolds, Horwitz, and O'Hearn, against LHP that's four guys tied up in DH, 1B, bad defensive 2B play, and bad defensive RF play. Zero versatility - no room for injury or underperformance as there's no place to shift people down the defensive

Any idea who the corresponding 40-man move is?

Bednar at all when he has an additional year of control left, yet take on Lowe/Soto as rentals? I get that some of it is sequencing, but this confirms to me with a high degree of certainty that Cherington's seat is very hot and that he has been told he has to win this year.

spectrum.

It also calls other recent moves into question. Why acquire Nick Yorke and Enmanuel Valdez via trade, two other guys limited to the right side of the field? Why was Rafael Flores the centerpiece of the Bednar return when he profiles as a backup catcher/short side of platoon 1B? Why trade

What happens if Lowe is 1st percentile in Fielding Run Value at 2B again? Does Horwitz shift to there? What if he's unplayable defensively at 2B?

If things break right this could work but there is very little versatility and thus very little margin for error
