At GM meetings, Red Sox seen as ‘a contender’

INDIAN WELLS, Calif. -- As the MLB General Manager meetings start up for another day, here’s a few things to know about what the Red Sox are trying to do:

1. A prominent agent said, “We view Boston as a contender because they’ll build the team quickly. I don’t think they’ll have trouble attracting free agents.” This is important because there is a perception out there the Red Sox might not be that good considering their current roster.

"8. Nick Swisher is someone the Red Sox will look at, but not for five years."

 

By that time he will be too old . I say lets look at him now !
