The Boston Red Sox offseason has been dead quiet, to say the least. There are teams previously irrelevant such as the Chicago White Sox and the Texas Rangers who are starting to load up, and there are the usual suspects in the New York Yankees and Los Angeles Dodgers who are reloading. Meanwhile, the Red Sox are… just chilling, really.
This has drawn the ire of many fans, understandably so. The Red Sox are usually among the teams in the mix for that marquee free agent or trade acquisition. Everyone knows the team is dialing back to get under the luxury tax threshold, but for some, that reality is still difficult to accept.
