Ding-dong, the lockout is dead. After over three months of waiting for a new CBA to be agreed to by the players and the league, a deal was struck on Thursday and Major League Baseball is back in business. As of this writing, things still need to be officially ratified by the owners — that’ll take place at 6:00 PM ET — but no hiccups are expected on that front. As soon as the new deal becomes official, trades and free agency will open back up, and it’s expected to be a madhouse in transaction land. The Red Sox, of course, figure to be right in the middle of it.
