The roster is just about set for the Red Sox, but expect some minor transactions – the type that elicits a yawn. You may see a Blake Swihart or Christian Vazquez shuffled off for a player who will be a trivia question in a few seasons. Maybe another player or two will collect a ring Opening Day and be shipped off to a baseball purgatory such as Baltimore.
The structure of the roster will begin to be formalized with the most notable competition being just who will surface as the closer. With the exorbitant penalties of the luxury tax placing Craig Kimbrel on the ultimate longshot list to return.
