The Republican issues the questions about Theo Epstein's plans for the off-season. If they didn't go hard after Bobby Abreu at the trade deadline, then they probably won't go after Alfonso Soriano or Daisuke Matsuzaka. Might be a reach but both will command salaries in the range of at-least $15 million per. That's Manny Ramirez type money right there.
They could be settled with a rotation of Schilling, Beckett, Papelbon and Wakefield. They'd need to find a fifth starter and according to the piece, another outfielder and a closer (to replace Papelbon).
Who do you see them targeting to be their closer next year?
