The Boston Red Sox are experiencing a youth movement, highlighted by a 10-game win streak led by rookies and second-year players. Key figures include Roman Anthony, Marcelo Mayer, and Ceddanne Rafaela, suggesting a bright future for the team. However, Red Sox legends Jim Rice and Fred Lynn caution that comparisons to the historic 'Gold Dust Twins' are misguided. They emphasize the differences in the competition and pitching strength during their time, arguing that the current team cannot match the legacy established in 1975.
"You look at opposing teams that we played, (they) were much better than what you see now. The pitching was much better than what you see now."
"The Big 3 is not anything like us. Don't compare them with us. Don't compare them with us," Rice told MassLive's Chris Mason.
