Whether the SOX are buyers or sellers nothing, imho, major is going to happen. Also, based on the fact the SOX have had only 3 starters for quite awhile now, it seems the FO isn't that interested in making a serious run at the PO's anyway.
I can guarantee that the blackouts of games have to do with money. Money trumps everything. Also, nowadays, one pays more to get less.
On the good news front, I've noticed the price of bananas has not changed in the last 3 or 4 years.
Watched the O's/ Rays game last night and I was very impressed with the O's. Based on their young roster and their strong farm system, I believe the O's will be the top dog(bird) in the AL East this season and for many seasons to come.
