ESPN has kept the whirlwind offseason in line automatically, and so you can see (below) what the Red Sox will be paying next year (assuming nothing else changes) to field a team. The salary's shown are 2005. There's also no SS (unless you pencil in Cora), no CF, and no back-up catcher on this list, so things will change.
Speaking of further trades, word out of co-GM Ben Cherington is "the chances are good" that both Ramirez and Johnny Damon will return to the Red Sox, the Boston Globe reports. Well, tell that to Damon.
