In a normal baseball offseason, we would be at the point of the offseason in which some major free agents remain on the board, but many have already signed. Meanwhile, teams would have just exchanged arbitration figures and started to focus more attention on extensions for their best players. Obviously the lockout is preventing any of that from happening (besides the free agent thing, I suppose, since many signed before the lockout), but front offices are undoubtedly still focusing on all of that. From a Boston Red Sox perspective, most of the outside focus on that front has understandably been around guys like Rafael Devers and Xander Bogaerts.
