Boston’s defensive reset failed again in the Wild Card, a 4-0 loss that ended the season as errors and misreads stacked up in the lights at Yankee Stadium. Rafaela and Abreu misread plays in the outfield, Lowe and Rice were part of the final error-rooted run, and early-season optimism about a defensive upgrade didn’t stick. Offseason pivots around Bregman arrival and Devers shifting to DH frame the next chapter, but the stop in Bronx underscored the task ahead.
