The Boston Red Sox let first baseman Bobby Dalbec go on Sunday, and manager Alex Cora recognized that the former starting first baseman could be out of time.
In order to make room for starting pitcher Richard Fitts to make his Major League Baseball debut on Sunday, the Boston Red Sox had to make room on the 40-man roster. They did so by designating first baseman/utility man Bobby Dalbec for assignment.
Three seasons later, though, Dalbec's presence on the 40-man roster was precarious at best. His former manager, who recognized there wasn't a place for the 29-year-old in his lineup anymore, seems to know this could be the end of the line.Christopher Smith “If you look at the swing and miss percentages, he’s up there,” Cora said, per Smith. “He’s still a good player. Good defender. Has some pop. He’s a good athlete. So we’ll what happens in the upcoming days and then we’ll know more.”
