This winter, much like last winter, includes a frustratingly slow-moving MLB offseason. There have been some big moves here and there, and it seemed the reliever market was starting to pick up after before the holiday season began, but for the most part the biggest names available haven’t signed. Bryce Harper, Manny Machado, Craig Kimbrel, Dallas Keuchel and A.J. Pollock, among others, remain without a team after the New Year. J.T. Realmuto continues to be everyone’s favorite trade target instead of an exciting player on a new team.
The free agent market is slow-moving, and the Red Sox can use that to their advantage.
