On this episode of the Fenway Rundown, MassLive beat writers Chris Cotillo and Chris Smith discuss the first week of the offseason for the Red Sox. The writers talk about the state of Boston's rotation after James Paxton exercised his player option and Nathan Eovaldi declined his qualifying offer, give their thoughts on the prospects added to the 40-man roster and parse through the rumors that Xander Bogaerts might be flirting with the Phillies and Yankees. Cotillo and Smith also predict who will be cut before Friday's non-tender deadline.
