Where will the 2013 Red Sox be in 5 years?

Five years after the 2004 World Series, Pedro Martinez found himself back on the mound at Yankee Stadium in October, hurling himself toward another title with the Philadelphia Phillies. He would not get there. Five years after the 2007 World Series, the Red Sox endured their worst season in their modern history but managed to pull off a books-clearing trade that would allow them to return to respectability in 2013 if everything went right. One of their moves was to re-sign Pedro as a team advisor. They didn't just get to respectability: They got Pedro the second ring he was denied in Philly.

Five years from now, where will the World Champion 2013 Red Sox be?

Here are some projections.

Offense

Jacoby Ellsbury signed with the New York Yankees in the 2013 offseason December for 7 years, $153 million. He won the 2016 batting title in the bare minimum of at-bats. He can be found rehabbing at the Yankees' extended Spring Training complex in Tampa, Fla.

Shane Victorino retired from baseball after 2014 and returned on a one-day contract to Philadelphia, where his popularity led him to be elected as the city's mayor in 2015 only after write-in votes for "Shanf" were counted in his favor, the closest election in a major city in history.

Dustin Pedroia is still getting ready for the big-league baseball game.

David Ortiz is still batting cleaning up and straight up crushing dingers, bro, because he will do this forever and that's that.

Mike Napoli and Jonny Gomes don't have a fucking clue where they are, but they'll have another.
