We are almost a week into March, and now a couple of weeks of spring training games have already officially been cancelled, with more likely to come. This has been a disaster of a week for MLB, and it doesn’t really seem like a resolution is imminent, though we’ll hedge that with the fact that these things can change quickly. And with that in mind, we should acknowledge that this lockout will end eventually. We think. And when that happens, there is going to be a player movement bonanza in which transactions come through in lightning speed.
To that end, the Red Sox figure to be one of the more aggressive clubs on the market as they still have a few holes to fit, most notably in the outfield and bullpen.
