Has this season reached the point where someone has to be held accountable? Should the front office make major changes, or is patience still the right approach?

⚾ Are the one-year acquisitions and others part of the problem?
⚾ Is the coaching staff getting enough out of this roster?
⚾ Should Terry Francona return next season?
