We start today with what isn’t really big news, but a move that could have some relatively large ramifications on the rest of the Red Sox offseason. That is with the Mets signing who has been a fourth outfielder in Albert Almora. New York gave him a one-year deal, though the exact terms of the contract are not yet known.
Before we get into the Red Sox part of all this, the Mets were certainly in need of a center fielder. This has seemingly been an issue for them for a couple years now, and they were connected to both George Springer and Jackie Bradley Jr.
