October 1
The final results are in... the Red Sox did not lose 100 games, finishing at 66-96. CF and SS Deverses got injured in September, allowing rookies Marcelo Mayer and Roman Anthony to play a bit. Rafael P Devers also came down with a sore arm, though he really wasn't throwing that hard.
The Sox led the league with 859 runs scored and ended up with 286 home runs, so did not break the league record of 307. They also gave up a league-leading 1005 runs and had the worst defense in the league by a mile.
Rafael 1B Devers led the club with 48 home runs, and Rafael DH Devers drove in 110. Rafael RF Devers was perhaps the most productive Devers overall, managing a .927 OPS and not-terribly-atrocious defense. Rafael C Devers was a real liability behind the plate and didn't even hit all that well. Rafael P Devers did a ton of damage even in mop-up duty, with a 4/96 strikeout to walk ratio and allowing 26 homers in just 43 innings.
I'll sim forward a bit to see what becomes of the Deverses next. They are slated to hit free agency, Boston is out of money, and they're all pretty mad...
