LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. -- The Winter Meetings, which start Monday, are happening at a perfect time for the Red Sox.
With Giancarlo Stanton headed to the Yankees in a trade with the Marlins that will send ripples through the industry, everyone will be looking to see what kind of counter move Red Sox president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski will make.
The rivals are always intertwined, and Boston will try to strike fast to acquire a big bat (or two). This would ease the angst of a rabid fan base that has spent countless hours for the past few weeks speculating how the Red Sox will supplement a roster that has won the American League East Division the last two seasons with 93 wins, but has also lost in the Division Series both years.
