Red Sox Offseason Report
TRADES:
Red Sox Send:
2B Derrik Gibson
Los Angeles Angels Send:
MR Alexi Ogando
Notes: I had an open spot at Long Reliever since I let Morales go in favor of carrying Furbush and Thatcher into the 2015 season. Ogando fills that role nicely and can be a spot starter if needed.
KEY DEPARTURES:
MR Franklin Morales New Team: Chicago Cubs
SP Ryan Dempster New Team: Minnesota Twins
MR Andrew Bailey New Team: Tampa Bay Rays
1B Mitch Moreland New Team: Tampa Bay Rays
Unsigned as of Opening Day: DH David Ortiz, OF Justin Ruggiano, SP John Lackey, C Jeff Mathis
KEY FREE AGENT ADDITIONS:
SP Justin Masterson - Masterson is coming back to Boston! He will be a #4 or #5 starter.
OF Brandon Moss - Had a good season last year with the Los Angeles Angels. He will serve as a backup 1B and corner outfielder.
NOTES:
All in all, it was a very quiet off season for me. I feel like I have built a decent team, and I lost very little through free agency this year. My owner's prediction is once again to "Make the playoffs!"
