Yes it would be bad to get nothing out of all, or any of the expiring contracts, but to me that should have been decided long before now especially with the Red Sox having a good chance getting into the postseason. The Yankees are good team, but I think the Sox can handle their own against them head to head especially when healthy. The rest of the teams like the Sox are not great, so once in the postseason anyone can win. If the Red Sox unload contracts now just to build for the future I think Red Sox Nation would be in a uproar. Maybe not so much on here, but elsewhere I think big time.
