Tom Werner clarifies his "full throttle" comments about Red Sox offseason moves

Back in November, Red Sox chairman Tom Werner proclaimed that the team would be going "full throttle" to build a contender this offseason. It has led to a rather awkward winter as the Red Sox have been essentially stuck in neutral. While the Red Sox have had interest in a number of free agents this offseason, Craig Breslow has made just one notable signing so far: Starting pitcher Lucas Giolito. Breslow has also traded away Alex Verdugo (landing three pitchers from the Yankees) and Chris Sale (acquiring second baseman Vaughn Grissom from the Braves), and picked up outfielder Tyler O'Neill from the Cardinals, but that certainly doesn't classify as a "full throttle" approach.
