Red Sox fans notice payroll is connected to playoff wins and struggles image

Fans of the Boston Red Sox have noticed something with the recent Red Sox teams; they were 6th, 13th and 11th in payroll for the past three seasons. In all their World Series wins in the 2000s, they were top three in all of them. 

Fans of the Red Sox have lost trust in the ownership of the team, and this is one of the main reasons. The other is the Sox have only made the playoffs five times in the past 15 years. 

Before that, they made the playoffs every year from 2003 to 2009, and only missed the 2006 playoffs. 

The ownership, management, and manager of the Red Sox have all verbally committed to spending this offseason.

There are also star starters, relievers, and hitters the Sox can target this offseason and to use as a way to raise their payroll rank.

If everything the Sox’ front office is saying is true, then their payroll is about to skyrocket, and that could prove to put them back in the playoffs.
