I’ve been trying to hold off on offseason speculation until, well, the season actually ended. It is obviously already a much-anticipated winter with a ton of storylines and there are conversations to be had right now. The Red Sox are technically still in the race, though, and more selfishly it can be really hard to think of topics in the winter! I don’t want to waste those bullets in August when there’s still real baseball happening, ya know?
That doesn’t mean I haven’t been thinking about the offseason, though. Much of that thought has been how aggressively I’m going to be pulling out my hair thinking about Mookie Betts trade talks.
