Five years from now, where will the World Champion 2013 Red Sox be?

Here are some projections.

Offense

Jacoby Ellsbury signed with the New York Yankees in the 2013 offseason December for 7 years, $153 million. He won the 2016 batting title in the bare minimum of at-bats. He can be found rehabbing at the Yankees' extended Spring Training complex in Tampa, Fla.

Shane Victorino retired from baseball after 2014 and returned on a one-day contract to Philadelphia, where his popularity led him to be elected as the city's mayor in 2015 only after write-in votes for "Shanf" were counted in his favor, the closest election in a major city in history.

Dustin Pedroia is still getting ready for the big-league baseball game.

David Ortiz is still batting cleaning up and straight up crushing dingers, bro, because he will do this forever and that's that.
