Welp, the Boston Red Sox pulled the trigger. They traded Mookie Betts, and David Price. Okay, technically there are a ton of issues with the deal. That could lead to it not happening.
However, it’s pretty clear that Boston isn’t afraid to make a deal, and it’s very very likely Betts and Price aren’t around by the time the season starts.
That marks the beginning of a rebuild of sorts. It’s not a complete rebuild, because this team could still compete.
Xander Bogaerts is a top-2 shortstop in baseball and Rafael Devers is a monster.
