The Red Sox are playing for 2021, which is a thing I’ve typed almost every day in the month of September. I think it would autocomplete if that was a function available on my extremely old laptop. But, it’s true, because 2020 has been a lost season since about the third week of this 60-game campaign. And as we inch closer to the coming offseason, it’s becoming clear there are going to be a lot of interesting questions to answer on this roster. And looking specifically on the position player side of things — we all know the pitching is a mess — there’s really only three clearly locked up spots on the roster at third, short and in right.
