One of the best ways to get an assessment of the Red Sox offseason is how it’s being characterized by the manager of Boston’s perpetual rival, the Yankees.
And from that standpoint, the efforts made by the Red Sox front office to improve the roster appear to have drawn a concerned eye from Yankees manager Aaron Boone (who, from his playing days, is already a central figure in the rivalry’s history).
Boone spoke to Peter Abraham of The Boston Globe about Boston’s offseason upgrades on Monday, grudgingly acknowledging the strides made by his American League East counterparts.
