Daily Red Sox Links: Xander Bogaerts, Jackie Bradley Jr., Adam Ottavino

The Red Sox won the World Series in 2013 and then came in last place the next two seasons. They should not do that this year IMHO. (Peter Abraham; Boston Globe)

With their title window still wide open, according to Dave Dombrowski, the Red Sox aren’t about to tear everything down. (John Tomase; WEEI)

That means what you’ve heard about Xander Bogaerts being on the trading block might not be all that accurate. (Evan Drellich; NBC Sports Boston)

Jackie Bradley Jr. is another player being rumored in trade whispers. Such a deal might prove difficult to complete. (Alex Speier; Boston Globe)

One guy who isn’t going to be back is Craig Kimbrel and his price tag might be the reason. (NBC Sports Boston)

There are still plenty of other relievers out there, so the Red Sox are being patient. (Ian Browne; MLB.com)

Adam Ottavino is one such pitcher the Sox could acquire and he’s not afraid of Babe Ruth. (Alex Reimer; WEEI)

Free agency and trades won’t determine if Dustin Pedroia makes it back. His health will. (Nick Cafardo; Boston Globe)
