Looking through the lens of the professional sports landscape over the last 25 years, did anyone think Tom Brady would play anywhere other than New England? Did anybody think Michael Jordan would wear any different uniform besides a Bulls? While a solid player, Turner is not even on the same level as Tom Brady or Michael Jordan. Maybe Justin Turner will return to the Red Sox. In the professional sports landscape today, it is very rare for a player to want to return to a city they like when they could get more money elsewhere. That also assumes Ohtani is all right with no longer being a pitcher. However, the Red Sox should consider signing him if he takes a considerable discount, especially if they only intend to utilize him as an outfielder and DH. The Red Sox should not sign Shohei Ohtani for the money he wants or may have been worth before his injury. What is difficult to decipher is what is likely to occur and what is “kindling” that keeps the “hot stove” burning, even if only for a few moments. Re-signing players is also part of the “hot stove” discussions during the cold Massachusetts and New England winter months. There has been talk about the free agents the Red Sox “should” be targeting. There are discussions about possible trades that could happen. Rumors about trades, free agent signings, and re-signings are the discussions that keep baseball alive in New England, even when Fenway is covered for the winter. In Boston, that means Red Sox rumors are running rampant. It is the off-season for Major League Baseball.
