A recent BSI article by Tim Starr made a very constructed point on the Red Sox essentially going into a rebuild mode with the possibility of New York Yankee fiscal aggression this offseason. I will take (half-heartedly) a different approach.

The prize in this year’s clown show that is known as free agency is Gerrit Cole whose contract is expected to set a new bar that even Olympic pole vault champion Thiago Braz could not challenge.
