This series of offseason moves would give the Red Sox a very competitive roster entering the 2015 season. The Red Sox would also have $5-10M to accommodate any potential midseason acquisitions, should they need the extra cash.
Thanks for reading my “Armchair GM” post and let’s hope that the Red Sox’ offseason shapes up as positively as we can hope!
