Baseball’s Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) is ready to expire. Within the agreement or one now in negotiations is items that will impact the operation of the Boston Red Sox – most notably money. Luxury taxes, roster limitations, benefits, international signings or debating the merits of a Gulf Stream or Lear for personal travel.
The Red Sox have been patient as they await the outcome of any negotiations before moving forward. An understandable position, but one that frustrates fans over “inaction.” I am sure that the Red Sox management is astute and clever enough to have various contingency plans in place for when (hopefully) a CBA resolution takes place.
