For all intents and purposes, the season is over for the Red Sox. They’ve begun shutting down players, giving others extra rest, and they even fired an executive! It’s pretty clear that Boston is heading towards a massive transition period and the future feels a bit uncertain. That uncertainty may lead to some big changes in the lineup ahead of next season.
The Sox have some big-name free agents this winter in Brock Holt, Mitch Moreland, and Rick Porcello. There’s also the chance that J.D. Martinez chooses to opt-out of his contract to test free agency.
