re: Red Sox fans, wtf are we doing this offseason?

The entire market is in a weird place. JD Martinez doesn't really have the market everyone thought he would, so the Sox probably put their bid in and are holding firm. JD can mash, but he cannot really function defensively, so they are probably exploring as many ways to dump Hanley as they possibly can.

If I had to guess, the Sox also believe most of their team slumped hard last year and by getting a new manager/hitting coach, they've already massively improved.

^^^This, they need to dump Hanley if possible but most likely won't happen, then sign JD. I don't want us to pay a ridiculous amount of money to JD, would feel like the Price contract to me. Too many years who just turned 30 who had a stellar yr right before his contract came up. I do like the player just don't want to pay 150 million for him.

I don't like DD and his farm system ways, but getting Sale at that price was great and it seems he loves the city would possibly resign. 3rd base is the key, Devers needs to keep the weight off if he does I could see him hitting 30 homeruns in a few years.
Vasquez is great behind the plate, hits for a decent average as well. Platoon him with a veteran that position will be fine.
Bullpen is my main concern, interested to see what Thornburg and Carson Smith look like to get to Kimbrel
