Definitely,\u201d Kennedy told NESN\u2019s Tom Caron, responding to a question that asked whether he thought they\u2019d be buyers. \u201cI mean, we were incredibly aggressive this offseason, adding Alex Bregman and Garrett Crochet and Aroldis Chapman.

We added Walker Buehler, who we think can right the ship here, and has been totally accountable.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe had a very aggressive offseason, rooted in a desire to marry up some new talent with our homegrown talent. We are not where we want to be as we sit here on July 2, but we can still get there.
