Daily Red Sox Links: Jackie Bradley Jr., George Springer, Andrew Benintendi

There has been a run on free agent outfielders this week, including the top in the class, but Jackie Bradley Jr. is still out there and the Red Sox could still use another outfielder. (John Tomase; NBC Sports Boston)

The George Springer signing is sending a larger message about where the Red Sox stand in the AL East. It’s not a great message, either. (Rob Bradford; WEEI)

Throughout the last few weeks, it has seemed like an inevitability that Andrew Benintendi will be traded. Maybe we need to walk things back. (Christopher Smith; MassLive)

All these stories continue to just provide more speculation, so Dan Shaughnessy spoke with Sam Kennedy to try to get some clear answers on what exactly the Red Sox are planning for this year. (Dan Shaughnessy; Boston Globe)

By holding onto their cards, the Red Sox at least have flexibility. (Chad Jennings; The Athletic)

So... just keep being patient. (Mike Lupica; MLB.com)
