Andrew Cashner Moved to the Bullpen in Latest Hilarious Red Sox Move

Andrew Cashner looks like a member of the Boston Red Sox, but that's essentially the only resemblance he has to the beloved idiots of '04.

Though Cash made the Fenway Faithful joyous by beating the Yankees in one of his first starts in Boston before declaring he'd rather retire than pitch beard-less for the Bombers, he's posted a string of the worst starts in franchise history ever since then, and found himself demoted to the 'pen after a five-walk outing on Sunday against the Angels.

And he won't be a long reliever, either. Alex Cora made it clear on Monday that he plans to see if Cashner's fastball plays up in short-relief situations.

But what about his lack of command or control? Will that play, too?

Boston's 2019 season has been almost farcical in the lack of preparedness and foresight shown by both Dombrowski and Cora. Every day, it feels as if Dombrowski's worn-thin roster shows another hole, which Cora then tries to fill with platitudes and justifications.

Why is Nathan Eovaldi in the bullpen? Why is Nathan Eovaldi the entire bullpen? Why is 2/5 of the rotation, including Boston's "major deadline acquisition" now languishing in the sixth and seventh innings?

It's difficult to go too hard on this bunch, considering their World Series title (checks notes) literally last year, but with the best offense in baseball all returning, this team simply needs to get more out of the rotation and 'pen, two areas that cannot be this interchangeable.

Red Sox Nation will have to take solace in the fact that even "TBD" can likely post an ERA below 8.01, Cashner's current mark in Boston.
