Aside from 2 maybe 3 from that list it was a good choice to let them go.
Dodge a huge bullet with Ellsbury.
Pedro Is my all time favorite Sox pitcher but he was never the same after 2004. Would of love to kept him but the best was behind him. He only played one full season after 2004.
Manny - that was a good move to let go
They made a mistake on Damon and Lester.
Betts, only time will tell.
I know you're being sarcastic but if they lose Bogey it will hurt the fanbase. Specifically how they did it. Signing Story was a dick move. It was a slap in the face to XB. That's like your boss at work hiring a new person and saying oh here's the new guy that is capable of doing your job and we're going to put him working beside you.
Devers and XB are both going to get 30 Mil a year. There's no way the Sox have an infield of 80 Mil between 3 players. And they would still have a crap first basemen and s***** outfield.
IMO signing Story was a bad move and should have just worked something out with Bogey.
Claim will have to do miracle work this off season to get a contending team next year
