Team chemistry is vitally important to success and can make all the difference over the course of a season. Now that one of their leaders is gone, the Red Sox players may slump as they try to regain focus and find motivation. This was acknowledged by Red Sox General Manager Chaim Bloom, who authorized the trade. Jen McCaffery shared comments from the GM immediately after the Vazquez trade was completed.

Can the Boston Red Sox bounce back in 2022 Toronto Blue Jays v Red Sox The Red Sox are only one game under .500, but their division will make it difficult to reach the playoffs. The New York Yankees, Toronto Blue Jays, and Tampa Bay Rays are all bonefide great teams this season. This lessens the chances for the Red Sox, but does not eliminate them. If they can use these struggles to grow and improve, the team may be able to galvanize and come out swinging after the trade deadline. The Red Sox will now have to do all that without their talented catcher, who has had a good season. With a .282 batting average, he was one of the Boston Red Sox's most consistent players. This highlight package shows what Vazquez is bringing to the Astros. The Boston Red Sox have a void in leadership that will need to be filled after this trade. Seeing who steps up in the coming days and weeks will be fascinating to follow. Poll : 0 votes Quick Links More from Sportskeeda Edited by Gaelin Leif × Feedback Thank You!
