We are actually at the cusp of the official offseason at this point. Obviously the Red Sox have been in offseason mode for a month now (one could maybe make the argument they’ve been here since late August), but the league as a whole will join them at the conclusion of the World Series, which will come, at the latest, next Wednesday night. That means a week from the day this publishes is the latest the first day of the offseason can come.
And for the Red Sox, things are sure to be busy.
