The Red Sox still have a few holes that need to be filled, and Mike Napoli should remain the top priority for them. (Michael Silverman; Boston Herald)

Now that Brian McCann has signed with New York, what does the market look like for Jarrod Saltalamacchia. (Alex Speier; WEEI.com)

If the Red Sox fail to bring Saltalamacchia back, could George Kottaras be an option? (Troy Patterson; Yawkey Way Academy)
