BoSox $20M over luxury tax threshold

MLB Rumors: The Boston Red Sox are currently above the luxury tax line by around $20 million, meaning that Mookie Betts, Jackie Bradley, Jr., David Price, Nathan Eovaldi and Chris Sale will continue to be the subject of trade rumors, despite ownerships public statements today that their focus is on winning in 2020, rather than getting below the luxury tax line.

Boston won just 84 games last year, and the most significant moves they’ve made this offseason have been to sign free agents Jose Peraza and Martin Perez.
