The storyline for many will be that the Sox fired DD even though they won in 2018 and had a historic season.
My own view is that while DD did many good things that contributed to the glorious result, that he also got a bit lucky and did things that could have doomed last season.
It all worked out. Huzzah!
But DD is fortunate that Kelly was way better than he'd been heading into October and Cora got so much out of the starters.
Both things were not insanely surprising but still, broke just right.
DD should have augmented the pen, like this year, and was bailed out to some extent.
I am grateful for 2018 and his part in it. I will not miss him.
