The Sox went 15-17 for the month although we still remain close to .500 for the year, just 3 games under. We're not in the top tier of teams in the AL (Washington, St. Louis, Detroit), but we're not the 38-63 Yankees either.
I chose to remain quiet at the trading deadline though, and it appears our financial situation is improving and we're projected for a small profit this year. Hopefully that'll mean we at least have enough money to sign our draft picks, but I'm hoping that our budget and payroll can grow from 16th out of 16 teams.
