Another off-season with plenty of roster action for the Red Sox.

In what looks a fairly beneficial trade, they send Stuffy McInnis to Cleveland for 1B George Burns and outfielders Elmer Smith and Joe Harris.

Harder to fully comprehend the relative merits of is the movement of Bullet Joe Bush, Sad Sam Jones and Everett Scott to Harry’s old friends at the Yankees for pitchers Rip Collins, Jack Quinn, and Bill Piercy, as well as shortstop Roger Peckinpaugh and another wad of cash. Frazee then flips Peckinpaugh to the Senators for shortstops Joe Dugan and Frank O’Rourke.

They also claim pitcher Alex Ferguson off waivers from the Yanks.

Here are the Preseason Predictions in full as well as the home pages for BOS, NYY and the Babe at Opening Day, 1922. It seems those in the know believe Cleveland-St. Louis III is on the cards (sorry about that...), with the Sox and Yanks to finish mid-standings.

Let's see if they are "in the know".
