The Boston Red Sox didn’t waste any time in making a splash this offseason. More splashes likely will follow.
The Red Sox signed Pablo Sandoval and Hanley Ramirez to long-term contracts last week, creating some interesting Thanksgiving chatter for fans across New England. Boston still has plenty of questions to answer before Opening Day, though, and business could pick up sooner rather than later.
The Major League Baseball winter meetings are set to kick off Monday in San Diego. The Red Sox figure to be among the most active squads, as they still need to build a starting rotation. General manager Ben Cherington last week didn’t rule out adding as many as three starters this offseason.
Will Jon Lester reunite with the Red Sox a little more than four months after Boston traded him to the Oakland Athletics in exchange for Yoenis Cespedes? Will Andrew Miller also return? Who could the Sox target on the trade market?
