Nick Cafardo looks at the biggest concerns facing the Red Sox as they get set for 2017. (Nick Cafardo; Boston Globe)
Among those concerns is Tyler Thornburg’s status. If the set-up man has to miss the start of the season, Joe Kelly will take over the eighth inning. (Christopher Smith; Masslive)
Another concern is Pablo Sandoval, who is doing everything right this spring but still has plenty to prove. (Rob Bradford; WEEI)
Scott Lauber sat down with Dustin Pedroia for a Q&A with the team’s de facto captain. (Scott Lauber; ESPN)

Drew Pomeranz hasn’t come along as we’d hoped, but after a slow start Steven Wright is looking good. (Jason Mastrodonato; Boston Herald)
Ian Cundall has some updates after getting a look at the prospects on the back fields. (Ian Cundall; Sox Prospects)
