The Red Sox have some big contracts expiring after this season

We’re now almost a week into 2022, and we’re nowhere closer to getting the baseball train back on the tracks. The owners and MLBPA have yet to meet up and don’t seem too worried about getting together anytime soon. It’s cold, the sun sets at what feels like noon every day, and we have no hope. But never fear Red Sox Nation, there’s always something to talk about in regards to our beloved team.

While I’ve put much of my focus this offseason on what could happen in the upcoming season I think we should also look to the horizon beyond 2022. The Red Sox have plenty of free agents hitting the market after this season with a few of their biggest weapons being on that list. A defensive wizard, a slugger, a fireballer, a charismatic reliever, and the heart of the team.

No, it’s not a new rendition of the Breakfast Club, but the list of who won’t be wearing a Red Sox uniform in 2023. So, with that all being said, let’s take a look at who I believe won’t be returning to Fenway Park after the 2022 season.
