Red Sox on brink of playoff berth as tricky balancing maneuver pays off in the closing games
(09/05/16 11:32pm)
One of the most fundamental forces driving professional sports is the tension between building a team for long-term contention and going all-in to win in the current year. For fans of competitive teams, this balancing act can be massively frustrating. If your team leans too far to the side of consistency and runs back the same roster every year, you’ve punched yourself a ticket to a yearly early playoff exit. If your team leans too aggressive, your year or two of actual championship contention can be followed by a long, soul-crushing decline as players reach the back ends of their contracts (See: Phillies, Philadelphia, 2008-). The ultimate goal is sustained championship contention, which very few teams have managed in any given era.
