Well, the AL East really needed more firepower...
Washington was rumoured to be the front runner for Sale, but I guess they took too long, and now we're looking at a pretty stacked rotation out in Bean-Town. Top prospect Moncada is the centrepiece, with Kopech and two other prospects going to the White Sox to complete the deal.

Annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd there goes the window. Come next year Yanks will add to their great prospect group with some proven elite FAs and it'll all be over for us.
Love that the White Sox made the move. Sale is a real bag. There have been a couple other incidents over the years besides cutting up the jerseys.
It will be fun watching these prospects mature for the White Sox. As a Cubs fan I am glad Sale didn't go to the NL.

Just because you win the Winter meetings doesn’t mean you win games. Jays won the winter meetings a few yrs ago and didn’t make the playoffs.
The offense isn’t the same without Ortiz, how’s Mookie and Boegarts going to hit without that protection, Price may settle in as a 3+Era guy, Sale won’t do as well in Boston as he has in CWS. Procello won’t repeat. Wright won’t repeat. Pedroia can regress. Can they rely on Panda to play 3B now with no Shaw?
On paper the team has award winning potential based on previous yrs. But it’s still question marks to me. We all saw what happened to the Jays offense in 2016 after 2015. A headcase like Sale could disrupt a lot of things and Price being such a team guy it could create a lot of friction (Sale being a drama queen, Price being the relaxed chill guy).
I rather Sale have gone to the Nats, but just because Boston got them doesn’t mean you hand them the pennant already.

Also good points. Tough to say one way or another how things may work out with all of the moving parts, but Boston has definitely put in place the guys that have a good chance to make some real noise.
The games do still have to get played, so you're right, we can't hand them the pennant, but it is looking like a daunting task to keep this team from 95+ wins.

The team that has "won" the offseason was always one that tried to do too much at once. Jays, Padres, Mariners were all incredibly flawed teams going into that offseason. The Red Sox are coming off a division title and have added another stud lefty to their pitching staff. Losing Ortiz is a big blow but it now allows them to use their DH position to give Hanley, Pedroia and any other guys that just need a break from playing the field.
This is baseball and you should never just hand out a pennant before games are played. But I'm having a very hard time seeing any AL East team being able to hang with the Red Sox this season.
As much as this team is going to be able to pitch, they're going to hit. Lots of fire power on this team, and it's not all longball. gap to gap and high average hitters up and down the line up.
Not to mention they added Thornburg in the set up role.
They fill that Ortiz void at DH with a big bat and jeez, it'll be hard to imagine anything shy of a division title. Maybe with Big Papi himself!?
