MLB in brief: Luis Severino didn't expect to leave the Yankees | Luis Robert hires Scott Boras

Luis Severino didn't expect to leave the Yankees

He wanted to stay in the Bronx.

Luis Robert hires Scott Boras

He is a few years away from independence.

Matt Chapman's Market

The Giants, Cubs and Blue Jays are still there.

The Red Sox continue to disappoint

They were not competitive in signing Shota Imanaga.

Will be interesting to see where this lands. Sense I got is Red Sox weren't ultimately competitive with their offer, which fits with @alexspeier's report of Sox offer “characterized as lagging behind other interested teams.” https://t.co/0DkheUqMSr

And to see that the owners do not show up at the Winter Weekend for fans is a disappointment.

Red Sox ownership not showing up to Winter Weekend after back-to-back last place seasons, the full throttle comments and the dud of an offseason they've had so far is such an awful, awful look. You can't get upset when people ask if you still care when these are your actions.

Chris Sale's stint with the Red Sox: not a success in his eyes

He didn't pitch enough at the end of his time in Boston.

Jorge Soler to Boston or Toronto?

It's possible, yes.
