Boston lost its best player and No. 2 pitcher in a trade to the Dodgers, and, oh yes, they need a manager.

Re-signing utility player Brock Holt would be a good PR move for the Red Sox.

The Red Sox raised concerns over the medical records of pitcher Brusdar Graterol, but the deal sending Betts and David Price to Dodgers is not likely in jeopardy.

David Price helped the Red Sox win the World Series in 2018, but also feuded with Dennis Eckersley a year earlier on a team plane.

To remain competitive in years to come, Boston needed the payroll flexibility that comes with trading its superstar.

In return, Boston gets outfielder Alex Verdugo, pitching prospect Brusdar Graterol — and much-desired salary relief.

The 2018 MVP is unlikely to sign an extension with Boston, so the Red Sox need to get a return on their investment in him now.

Mookie Betts’ value falls short compared to Mike Trout, and should not be paid the same.

Luis Urueta is the first publicly known candidate to replace Alex Cora as Boston’s manager.

Mookie Betts has everything you’d want in a player, and Boston needs to find a way to keep him.
