Daily Red Sox Links: Jackie Bradley Jr., Daniel Bard, Trevor Bauer

It is going to be a busy offseason for the Red Sox, with most of the focus surely being on who is added to the roster. As John Tomase points out, though, three big names, though vastly different players, could be leaving the organization. (John Tomase; NBC Sports Boston)

As far as the additions go, however, starting pitching is sure to be the biggest focus. There are always a lot of options out there, so Jen McCaffrey goes through a whole bunch, some of whom are good fits while others are not. (Jen McCaffrey; The Athletic)

Mike Cole has a few starters he would look at in free agency as well. (Mike Cole; NESN)

While the Red Sox still are in the bottom half of the league in terms of strength of farm system, they are trending in the right direction. That is particularly true in the outfield. (Sean McAdam; Boston Sports Journal)

Daniel Bard was one of the league’s best stories this summer with his performance in Colorado. He spoke to Rob Bradford. (Rob Bradford; WEEI)
