The New York Yankees have made it a habit lately of taking
players from the Boston Red Sox and putting them on the team to win a
championship or five. Just while I have been alive and watching I can remember
the Wade Boggs’, Johnny Damon’s, and Jacoby Ellsbury’s of the world just to
name a few. Is it finally time for the Yankees to get their “payback” and will
the Boston Red Sox sign David Robertson out from under the team? I hope not,
but I do worry.
The Red Sox have a ton of money to spend this offseason and
will look to re-tool and rebuild this winter. One place that Boston can afford
to upgrade is definitely in their bullpen, especially if the team decides to
not re-sign closer Koji Uehara. I can definitely see the Red Sox swooping in
and upgrading their bullpen by a lot while severing the Yankees at the same
time not only to compete in 2015 and beyond, but just because.
I have been on record as saying that the Yankees need to
bring back Robertson no matter what in 2015. Even if the team decided to hand
the closers role over to Dellin Betances next season Robertson is just too hard
to replace. I am still unsure why you would want to replace the man that saved
39 games this season, blowing five opportunities, for New York anyway.
Robertson is a homegrown player, a good person on and off
the field (Follow him on twitter by following @DRob30), and excellent on the
field as a player. Sign him up before Boston makes us regret it.
