This offseason has been, well, mostly negative for the Red Sox, at least in terms of perception from the fans. This is not exactly ideal following a regular season that was basically exclusively negative in terms of perception (and performance). Some are taking the developments of the winter better than others — I will admit I am not one of those— but most people are at the very least upset with the situation if not ouright upset with the organization. And, it probably goes without saying, I think there is very good reason to be upset about or at whatever it is you are upset with or at.
