Conventional wisdom says since they don’t have an heir apparent at closer, the Red Sox would be smart to re-sign Craig Kimbrel. There may be reasons to believe otherwise. (Matthew Kory; The Athletic) ($$)

Is there a chance not signing Kimbrel would actually make the Sox better? (Christopher Smith; MassLive)

Steve Pearce, the guy who won the World Series MVP, is another free agent. He’s already making his pitch to come back. (Rob Bradford; WEEI)

But there are a lot of non-Red Sox on the free agent mark. Where should they all go and how much will they make? (Jim Bowden; The Athletic) ($$)

In Boston, the playoffs were pretty great. But what about from the overall perspective? (Shane Tourtellotte; The Hardball Times)

The PawSox need a new name now that they are no longer in Pawtucket. (Dan McLoone; Boston Globe)
