Red Sox ownership looking towards 2020 and beyond

The Red Sox will have major questions looming during the offseason. Whether Alex Cora has much rope will be one topic of discussion.

How to deal with the aftermath of Dombrowski will be another. The potential move of Betts to another team in order to get a farm system once again will also be touched upon.

The boys from Bean Town need to figure out a way to get their payroll back to under $200 million. 2020 will be the final year with the Pablo Sandoval and Rusney Castillo contracts, freeing up over $32 million in 2021.

Red Sox third baseman Rafael Devers reaches 50 doubles. dark. Next

The new management in Boston will also have some more money to play with as the contracts of Porcello ($21.125 million), Mitch Moreland ($6.5 million), and Steve Pearce ($6.25 million) coming off the books. All Red Sox fans can do now is know that the future will be brighter than the 2019 campaign the team was able to put together.
