MLB free agency is officially underway, but it might be some time before the top free agents sign.
The winter meetings aren’t until Dec. 7, which is when many of the top free agents begin to find homes. So, with plenty of time until then, many insiders and outlets dropped their predictions for MLB free agency in recent days, and most seem to have the Red Sox among the more active teams this offseason.
Boston is in a position to spend this offseason. It has roughly $219 million committed in payroll for next season, per Red Sox Payroll.
