Daily Red Sox Links: Dustin Pedroia, Sandy Leon, Blake Swihart

Hopes that Dustin Pedroia would not deal with another injury have been dashed quite quickly. (Rob Bradford; WEEI)

Another brutal loss to the Yankees shows that the Red Sox can’t just keep saying it’s early. (Alex Speier; Boston Globe)

It’s tough to play better when your two best players are nowhere close to their potential. (Sean McAdam; Boston Sports Journal) ($$)

The Red Sox have at least attempted to make adjustments with player personnel but Sandy Leon can only do so much. (Jen McCaffrey; The Athletic) ($$)

Leon was brought up in favor of Blake Swihart but its possible a different swap in the past featuring Swihart could have been more beneficial. (Nick Friar; WEEI)

At least J.D. Martinez can still hit home runs. (Christopher Smith; MassLive)
