Re-Grading every Red Sox offseason move two months in
By Daniel Fox
What grade do the Red Sox offseason acquisitions deserve?
It was quite the interesting offseason for the Boston Red Sox. After coming oh-so-close to the World Series in 2021, the Red Sox lost key pieces in Kyle Schwarber and Eduardo Rodriguez. At first, the team only went after low-risk veterans on short-term deals, subjecting themselves to criticism from the fans, That all changed in late March, as the Sox inked superstar shortstop Trevor Story to a six-year, $140 million deal.
Two months into the season, I thought it would be a worthwhile exercise to hand out grades for the Red Sox offseason signings. Yes, I know it’s early, but considering many of these players are on one or two-year deals, they may have already completed a significant portion of their time with the Red Sox.
A couple more notes before we hop into the article. First, I chose to leave James Paxton off the list, an obvious decision considering he hasn’t pitched an inning in 2022. Second, I only focused on players who came over from other teams, so you won’t find Hansel “The Franchise” Robles on this list.
