Key Points:
- The Boston Red Sox started the 2026 season with a disappointing 2-7 record after losing 8-6 to the San Diego Padres at Fenway Park, prompting some fans to chant for owner John Henry to "Sell the team."
- The Red Sox squandered a 4-0 lead in the fourth and fifth innings, allowing the Padres to score six runs and ultimately lose the game despite a late rally.
- Despite a $265 million payroll, the Red Sox are in last place in the American League East, trailing the first-place Yankees by 5.5 games, fueling fan frustration.
- Fans remain disillusioned with ownership due to the team's limited playoff appearances since their 2018 World Series win and controversial moves like trading Mookie Betts in 2020.
- Red Sox outfielder Roman Anthony acknowledged the team's poor performance, emphasizing the need for more energy and commitment to meet fan and organizational expectations.
