The Red Sox have created some offseason buzz by signing gold glove third baseman Alex Bregman and trading for an All-Star starting pitcher in Garrett Crochet.
The Red Sox also have three of the top 25 prospects in baseball — Marcelo Mayer, Roman Anthony, and Kristian Campbell —waiting in the wings.
Yankees manager Aaron Boone said this week that the Red Sox have a “formidable” team and that he liked it better when the Red Sox were hovering around .500. Boston went 81-81 last year, and 78-84 in the two seasons before that.
