While his comments may not sit well with a restless fan base, Red Sox General Manager
Ben Cherington stated that—as far as he's concerned—the team is done with their off-season moves. To be sure, Cherington has been busy since his 2014 team finished with a whopping 71 wins. The offense has been upgraded with
Pablo Sandoval and
Hanley Ramirez. And, the rotation—with only
Clay Buchholz and
Joe Kelly returning from the 2014 squad—was buttressed with
Wade Miley,
Rick Porcello and
Justin Masterson. Many still feel the lack of a true ace will hurt this team—especially if it somehow makes it to the post-season. Said Cherington,
"I would expect the group we have for Spring Training is in place, and I would be surprised if there were any additions. I couldn't completely rule out a non-roster deal with someone, but we feel good about where we are with our position players and pitching group, so this is probably the group you'll see when we take the field in Fort Myers." Not what we want to hear.
