Red Sox still need to get more pitching. Their team last year was still s*** with Lester on board. And they don't have a replacement for what they lost in Lackey.

 

Their offense will be a threat thought, but they need to address their pitching.

Well they have one of the best farm systems and a bunch MLB position players with value. Pitching won't be hard to find if they offer up some of these guys. Red Sox look like they will have one of the best teams heading into the season.

Martin signing starting to look like not enough

 

It was never going to be enough, but it was (and still is) a good start.

I've heard some rumors and I can't imagine it happening but would the White Sox be shopping Chris Sale (in particular to the Red Sox)?

 

It would take a massive package of young mlb ready talent to get Sale. The scary thing is the Bo Sox have the young talent and depth to pull it off.

Agreed. Martin is a very good player and was a very sensible signing, but he was never the missing piece. More work needs to be done, regardless of what else Boston does.

 

No need to make any panic type moves. Just keep adding good/great players where possible. Can't control what other teams do.

AA better step in and get er done with Lester...150 over 7 years.

 

AA can't step in, he's busy taking a massive souvlaki and tziki filled dump.

The Martin signing went enough on its own before any of the Boston signings. If all the Jays do is sign Martin on this offseason, it will be a failure.

If the Jays miss out on Lester, scherzer, Shields...would anyone here have an appetite for Liriano on a 2 or 3 year deal.

That's what it'll take for the Blue Jays to get him...at least that much.

There are many many more efficient ways of adding wins than singing Lester to $150M.

 

It's not my money...its Rogers money. What are those more efficient ways of getting a guy like Lester?
