Greedy Red Sox fans' 'Sell the Team!' chants are Blue Jays fans' only silver lining

Sometimes the grass isn't always greener, even if that grass is located under the Green Monster in Fenway Park. As bad as this last week has been for the Toronto Blue Jays, their division rivals are really reeling right now - giving Blue Jays fans at least something to smile about.

The Red Sox season has gotten off to such a frustrating start, that the team's fans are begin to revolt against ownership. Which is incredibly silly, giving how the last decade has gone for Boston.

At least Blue Jays fans can laugh at the division rival Red Sox for having a worse start than them

Alright, so it's been a minute since the Red Sox have won it all, but their last championship ring has come in much more recent memory than any of their division rivals'. The New York Yankees last won in 2009, the Blue Jays in 1993, the Baltimore Orioles in 1983 and the Tampa Bay Rays have never won it all.

While 2018 does feel like a lifetime ago, at least that championship happened in this century, and it was the fourth one since the 2004 season that ended their 86 year "Curse of the Bambino." So you'll excuse Blue Jays fans and the rest of the baseball world for laughing at Red Sox fans who were chanting "sell the team" toward John Henry and Red Sox ownership during their 8-6 loss to the San Diego Padres on Sunday.

Now, to be fair to Red Sox fans, we get it. It's been a frustrating eight years. They've made just two playoff appearances since they won the World Series, losing in the ALCS in 2021 and losing in the Wild Card series last year to their forever nemesis the Yankees. They have finished higher than third in the division just once (2nd in 2021) and have finished last three times. They also traded, or lost to free agency, some of the key pieces that helped them win that last World Series and that hasn't sat well with the fans either.

They've watched Mookie Betts win World Series rings with the LA Dodgers, trading him and David Price for Jeter Downs, Alex Verdugo and Connor Wong. They shipped off Rafael Devers last year because they lied to him about where he would be playing during the offseason and made no attempt to smooth things over. Those are just a couple of the glaring mistakes of how management has mistreated their talent.

And while the front office has made significant moves since then, trading for Garret Crochet, drafting and developing Roman Anthony, and Marcelo Mayer and they signed free agent Ranger Suárez this past offseason, the Red Sox are 2-7 to begin the year and sit at the bottom of the very tough AL East.

While nobody expects them to be there all season, the Blue Jays at the very least don't look as bad as they do, even if they haven't been able to pick up wins over bad teams on a soft spot in their schedule. The Blue Jays can also point to a number of injuries, and the poor performance of a few relievers as to reasons why they have slumped over the last few games. The Red Sox, don't have such luxuries, instead they have most of their main roster hitting under .250 while their pitching is struggling to keep runs off the board.
