It's been a quiet offseason for the New York Yankees, but it's been a weird one for the Boston Red Sox. The Yankees' timeless nemesis went into the winter with some clear goals, with adding another front-line starter and acquiring a big-time slugger to join Alex Bregman at the top of the shopping list.
They haven't accomplished any of those goals. They went out and acquired Sonny Gray, who seethes pinstripe hatred, but to call the 36-year-old, coming off a 4.28 ERA campaign, a top-of-the-rotation starter is a stretch.
Boston also traded for Willson Contreras in what was a lopsided deal in their favor.
