Daily Red Sox Links: Chris Sale, Dustin Pedroia, Craig Kimbrel

Chris Sale should be back and fully healthy next season. If Dustin Pedroia is as well, he’ll lead off the season opener. (Ian Browne; MLB.com)

I will never get tired of reading about Alex Cora’s exceptional first season as manager. (Chad Jennings; The Athletic) ($$)

Craig Kimbrel is a free agent this offseason. I’d expect the Red Sox to bring him back, but if not, get ready for Matt Barnes or Ryan Brasier as the closer. (Christopher Smith; MassLive)

Speaking of the offseason, the job of a GM never ends. Just ask Dave Dombrowski. (Nick Cafardo; Boston Globe)

J.D. Martinez was someone Dombrowksi added last year and he had an all-time season and not just because of launch angles. (Eno Sarris; The Athletic) ($$)

Winning the World Series sure is thirsty work. (Coleman Bentley; Yahoo! Sports)

Duck boat driving seems like a gas, especially during a World Series parade. (Jen McCaffrey; The Athletic) ($$)
