The Boston Red Sox team is under fire for its poor start to the season, with a loss to the Padres at Fenway Park and a 2-7 record in the American League East. Fans began calling for the team's sale when the game ended, with some urging owner John Henry to sell the team. The Red Sox, who have a $275 million payroll, let a 4-0 lead slip away in the fourth and fifth innings of the game. The team's performance has been criticized by fans who have become disillusioned with ownership and have made the playoffs a mere two times since their World Series win in 2018.
