Devers is done. So is the season. Yet the games continue.

The Red Sox look to finish off the Blue Jays, ensure a.500 season and extend their postseason chances for another day behind Richard Fitts tonight in Toronto (7:07 p.m., NESN).

The 2024 Red Sox were eliminated from postseason contention Wednesday nigt when they lost to the Blue Jays, 6-1 and the Tigers and Royals both won, ending another middling season for Boston even as the arrow plainly points up, albeit slightly, for 2025 and beyond.

Can the Sox get past Addison Barger and Bowen Francis? The world wonders.

The Sox get back to even down in Florida.

NESN and the Red Sox are inseparable. This is true not only on the balance sheet, with both entities rolling up to John Henry’s Fenway Sports Group (though Jeremy Jacobs’ Delaware North also owns 20% of the network), but in each of our homes. The Red Sox game is the meal and NESN is the chef. So how’s the chef doing?

We conclude our examination of Red Sox broadcasts with a look at everything else.

The Chief Baseball Officer plainly does not call the shots.

The key to winning is trying.
