One of the big questions for the Red Sox’ biggest rival for this offseason was to figure out their first base situation. After basically giving up on Luke Voit last season, they pretty clearly weren’t going to go back to that well, making them one of the biggest players looking for help at the cold corner. Rumors had them connected to two of the biggest names on that market in Freddie Freeman and Matt Olson, so it likely registers as at least some degree of disappointment to their fans that they went a tier below that. Instead, they are re-signing Anthony Rizzo to a two-year deal.
