The Boston Red Sox have had dozens of storied players come and go over this past glorious decade, here are my three least favorites.
With the decade coming to a close, the Boston Red Sox experienced the same roller coaster journey many of us have come to expect from decades past.
Two championships were celebrated, one of which was a rematch with the St. Louis Cardinals where Boston won the series 4-2. As well as the Los Angeles Dodgers who were defeated more decisively by a series score of 4-1.
The Red Sox also experienced last-place finishes in three seasons during that span due to a number of missteps with roster and payroll decisions. However, on the other end of the spectrum, they also captured four American League East titles.
In the midst of all of the success, three different general managers reigned over the front office during this time period, while a mind-boggling four different managers occupied the dugout.
The decade did not pass by without its fair share of controversies, which were heavily scrutinized by fans and media. In a market like Boston, emotions can often boil over and split the fan base into different factions.
In this article, I reflect on three players who became my least favorite to put on a Red Sox uniform based on a multitude of reasons.
