With pitchers and catchers set to report to Fort Myers today, baseball season is right around the corner. Lets take a look at some of the new faces in the Red Sox lineup, and some of the biggest questions entering Spring Training.

ARRIVALS

LHP David Price

With a $217 million agreement, the Red Sox finally have their ace. Dave Dombrowski inked Price to the biggest contract in franchise history to lead the starting rotation for the next seven seasons. The lefty was the runner-up for last season’s American League Cy Young, and won the award with the Rays in 2012. He’s been excellent throughout his career, which includes stints with the Tigers and Blue Jays. The lone knock on Price has been his postseason performance, where he’s posted a pedestrian 2-7 record with a 5.12 ERA.

RHP Craig Kimbrel

Before the big ticket signing of Price, Dombrowski made a trade to acquire one of the MLB’s best relievers. No pitcher in the majors has had a better ERA (1.70) or more saves (224) than Kimbrel in the last five seasons (minimum of 200 innings pitched). The flame-throwing right-hander was the NL’s Rookie of the Year in 2011 and made four straight All-Star games with the Braves before he was traded to the Padres for 2015. To acquire him, Dombrowski had to send four prospects — including highly touted Manuel Margot and Javier Guerra — to San Diego.

RHP Carson Smith

In another move to bolster the bullpen, the Sox traded for this 26-year-old righty. Smith made his debut in the bigs with Seattle in 2014 and didn’t allow a run in his first 20 appearances, setting a Mariners record. Last season he was thrust into the closer role and pitched well. He appeared in 70 games and posted a 2.51 ERA. To land Smith and Roenis Elias, Dombrowski sent Wade Miley and Jonathan Aro to Seattle.

LHP Roenis Elias

After spending his first two seasons in Seattle as a starter, Elias projects to be a long-reliever with the Sox. In 51 appearances with Seattle, Elias amassed a 15-20 record with a 3.97 ERA. The 27-year-old right-hander boasts four pitches, including a sinker.

OF Chris Young

The Sox added another piece to their crowded outfield when they signed Young to a two-year, $13 million deal last December. Young projects to play a platoon role, as he hits left-handed pitchers exceptionally well, but he will also serve as insurance in case of the team’s younger players don’t pan out. Last season with the Yankees he hit .327 and had a .972 OPS against lefties.

DEPARTURES

LHP Wade Miley

Miley was dealt to Seattle after one up-and-down season with the Sox. He finished with an 11-11 record in 32 starts and posted a 4.46 ERA. Miley’s time in Boston might be most remembered for a heated exchange with manager John Farrell in the dugout last June.

LHP Rich Hill

The journeyman found his way into the Red Sox rotation at the end of last season, and his strong showing earned him a $6 million deal with the Athletics. Before signing a minor league deal last summer, Hill had been pitching for the Long Island Ducks of the Atlantic League. With the Sox, he only surrendered five runs in four starts. Hill turns 36 next month.

LHP Craig Breslow

Breslow departs Boston after spending four seasons in the Sox bullpen. Dominant for the Sox during their World Series run, he posted a 5-2 record with a 1.81 ERA in 2013, but his production tailed off over the last two seasons. The 35-year-old Yale graduate signed a one-year deal with Miami this offseason.

RHP Jonathan Aro

Aro made his MLB debut with the Sox last summer, appearing in six games out of the bullpen. He had an impressive ascension as he started 2015 in Double-A Portland and worked his way up to the majors. The 25-year-old was dealt to Seattle in the Miley trade.

RHP Alexi Ogando

After a decent season with the Sox, Ogando became a free agent and signed with the Braves. The righty made 64 appearances in 2015, putting together a 3-1 record with a 3.99 ERA.

BIGGEST ISSUES

Backing up Price

Now that the Sox have a surefire ace, one of the biggest questions is, “Who is their No. 2 starter?” There’s no question that Clay Buchholz has the best stuff, but that potential has never been realized due to his durability issues. Entering his 10th year in the majors, Buchholz has never hit the 200-inning plateau. After a rocky first year with the Sox, Rick Porcello is another candidate to jump into the second slot. His pedigree is better than his 2015 performance would indicate. Eduardo Rodriguez had a terrific rookie season, but the jump to No. 2 would be significant. Joe Kelly’s 2015 was one of the streakiest seasons you’ll see. The righty had stretches of brilliant and dreadful pitching, with very little middle ground.

Hanley Ramirez, first baseman

After spending his career on the left side of the infield, Ramirez signed last year to play left field for the Red Sox. The results were disastrous. Now the Sox are confident they can move the 32-year-old to another new position, but this time with positive results. They sent him home last year with instructions to return a more agile, trimmer player in hopes he’ll be able to take over first base. The Sox have no doubt a healthy Ramirez can produce at the plate. But with DH manned by David Ortiz for another year, the gamble is whether or not Ramirez can do more damage at the plate than he does at first base.

The Rusney situation

His first full year at the big league level could be a make-or-break one for the 28-year-old. Coming straight from Cuba, there was bound to be a learning curve for the highly touted outfielder. But the Sox’ $72.5 million import needs to show that he belongs this spring. In 80 games with the Sox last season, Castillo hit .253 with five homers and 29 RBI last season, but at times looked completely lost in a major league ballpark. The Red Sox are looking for a return on their investment.

Catching carousel

The most competitive position in Fort Myers should be behind the plate as the Sox enter Spring Training with three capable catchers. Veteran Ryan Hanigan returns for his second year in a Sox uniform. Last season, the Andover native battled injuries and hit .247 in 54 games. In Hanigan’s absence, Blake Swihart was called up and showed that he could contribute at the major league level right away. The 23-year-old hit .274 with five homers and 32 RBI in 84 games. And then there’s Christian Vazquez, who missed the entire season due to Tommy John surgery. A strong defensive player, Vazquez hit .240 in 55 games in 2014.
