I'm with you. I'm happy we will have Sale for another year, but I don't know about extending him beyond that with his health problems. Eovaldi could have a really bright future, and I want it in Boston. Pearce and Moreland make a great tandem and we should keep that next year too unless a remarkable first base option comes along.
And while we're at it, once we are sure that Pedroia can't play 2B anymore, I would like the Sox to look at moving Betts back there. The Betts-Bogaerts double play was meant to be. That would open up either an outfield or DH spot, and good hitters for those positions are far easier to come by.
