The Red Sox are like many other teams in MLB: cashed up and ready to throw money around, but there's no where to throw it. The remaining FA pool this season features a lot of questions, and is bound to be overpaid. Bellinger, Chapman, Soler.....all either inconsistent throughout their careers or past their peak. Same with the pitchers, outside of Hader.

It's gonna end up being a bidding war for players you don't want, very much like the Giants last year. They missed out on the big guns and ended up paying Conforto and Haniger for lots of years and dollars, just to appear to be doing something to boost the team's chances.

Sox should re-sign JD and trade for Cease. They can re-evaluate at the all-star break and buy or sell then.
