FORT MYERS — It’s not been enough, but we learned a great deal about the 2017 Red Sox this spring.
Chris Sale looks as if he’s remarkably well-equipped in both stuff and poise to thrive with the Red Sox. Christian Vazquez, another year removed from his Tommy John surgery, has regained his cannon of a throwing arm.
