Just like 2020, the future’s not now for the Red Sox, but that’s not all bad

COMMENTARY

Even by the glacial standards of this baseball winter, the Red Sox don’t much seem in a rush to win you back.

There are worse things, I guess. Anyone who lived through the Carl Crawford Experience knows what I’m talking about.

In this last offseason before the sides likely nuke the sport over a new collective bargaining agreement, half of the top 15 available free agents (according to MLB Trade Rumors) remain unsigned in late January, and that’s with George Springer, DJ LeMahieu, Liam Hendricks, and Michael Brantley all recently coming off the board.
