Henry feels that a team that inks too many long-term deals limits there roster flexibility.
"We had a long history of overpaying and going too long in contracts.We had the resources to be able to do it,just as the Yankees had the resources to be able to do that.You can make mistakes.You can sign someone to a five-year deal that should have been a four-year deal.You can pay him a few million extra a year in order to put together the exact team that can contend.We moved away from that for the first time I think in 2012.You saw that and you'll see that now continue."
Dustin Pedroia and John Lester are of coarse the exceptions to this.David Ortiz should be too.'Big Papi' should be offered a contract that would end his career in Boston.
They are the foundation of the Red Sox.
As as we all know all foundations must be solid.
