Daily Red Sox Links: Eduardo Rodriguez, Mookie Betts, Michael Chavis

There may not be a playoff spot to pursue, but every five days the team has a greater goal for which they are fighting. (Sean McAdam; Boston Sports Journal)

One could argue (incorrectly, in my opinion) that Eduardo Rodriguez is the only reason left to watch the Red Sox. (John Tomase; NBC Sports Boston)

Rodriguez is, however, a reminder of what has gone wrong for the team this year. (Jen McCaffrey; The Athletic)

Does seeing how guys like Carl Yastrzemski and David Ortiz are treated by fans sway Mookie Betts at all? (Alex Speier; Boston Globe)

It’s never unexpected after the head of the front office is let go, but the Red Sox have made some changes further down the chain of command as well. (Nick Friar; WEEI)

This was basically expected at this point, but Michael Chavis is likely not going to play again this year. (Ian Browne; RedSox.com)
