Daily Red Sox Links: Jackie Bradley Jr., George Springer, Andrew Benintendi
Jasen Vinlove-USA TODAY Sports There has been a run on free agent outfielders this week, including the top in the class, but Jackie Bradley Jr. is still out there and the Red Sox could still use another outfielder. (John Tomase; NBC Sports Boston) The George Springer signing is sending a larger message about where the Red Sox stand in the AL East. It’s not a great message, either. (Rob Bradford; WEEI) Throughout the last few weeks, it has seemed like an inevitability that Andrew Benintendi will be traded. Maybe we need to walk things back. (Christopher Smith;...

The Red Sox should trade Andrew Benintendi, then sign Marcell Ozuna
Photo by Cooper Neill/MLB Photos via Let’s improve the offense in a big way while ridding the team of it’s biggest unknown. There has been much speculation over the last few weeks about Andrew Benintendi’s future in a Red Sox uniform. It remains to be seen whether or not he will be traded, but one thing that seems certain is that his trade value remains a mystery, even more than most players following the strange 2020. Once the top prospect in all of baseball, Benintendi has been mostly an average major leaguer, amassing a career wRC+ of 108. While he is just 26...

Daily Red Sox Links: Martín Pérez, Alex Cora, Andrew Benintendi
Photo by Kathryn Riley/ While it wasn’t the most overwhelming move in terms of on-the-field impact, Martín Pérez did seem to enjoy his time in Boston and the organization liked having him. So it’s not a huge surprise to see he was excited to be back. (Adam London; NESN) Still, while Pérez is fine for what he is — an innings-eating back-end starter — his signing still doesn’t really answer the question of what exactly Chaim Bloom and company are aiming for this winter.

FanPost Friday: What’ll be shocking?
You can choose Andrew Benintendi being traded, but it’s not much of a shock to me. | Photo by Billie Weiss/Boston Red Sox/ 2020 wasn’t great for moves. 2021 may be good for moves. It’s no secret. 2020 was a terrible year for Red Sox fans. Not only was the team bad, but there weren’t even many moves to get excited about, which can help soften the blow a little bit when your team isn’t competitive. To highlight things, the most memorable moves all involved giving up a major leaguer for prospects. The only quality major leaguer added in 2020 was Alex Verdugo....
