Kim Klement-USA TODAY Sports

JD Martinez summed up the feelings of Red Sox nation with a brief tweet he sent on Tuesday night.

Martinez tweeted a sad face emoji, minutes after reports said David Price and Mookie Betts had been traded by Boston to the Los Angeles Dodgers.

It’s hard not to feel his disappointment.

In 2018, the Red Sox won 108 games, mowed through some great competition in the playoffs, and won the World Series. They were among the best teams of the modern era.

Sixteen months later, they have fired their manager, general manager, and traded their best player and pitcher. The Red Sox are shedding salary and rebuilding while seemingly admitting they’re not on the level of the divisional rival Yankees.
