The early parts of this offseason for both the Red Sox and the league as a whole have been a total snooze fest. Nothing has happened, and nothing has really changed with the Red Sox since their season ended in early November. One major change that did happen, however, came right after the season ended when Dustin Pedroia opted to have surgery on his injured knee. Although he is expected to return at some point in the middle of 2018, the team will at the very least be without their regular second baseman for a couple of months, if not longer.
Don’t forget about Marco Hernandez
