FORT MYERS, Fla. — Accompanied by club chairman Tom Werner, Red Sox owner John Henry endured his annual “state of the team’’ press conference at Fenway South Friday morning.

It was positively positive. And dull. Nothing the owner said will change the nap-time narrative of this Red Sox camp. JetBlue Park in 2017 is Tranquility Base. Henry and Werner love it that way.

Me? I miss the bad old days when there was a little hunger, restlessness, and indecision at the top.

This week last year, Henry came to Fort Myers and told us, “I was shocked at how bad we were last year . . . We were wrong about everything.’’

In that same session, the owner — the man who hired Bill James and became a billionaire with the help of numbers — also dropped the bomb that the Sox were “overly reliant’’ on analytics.

That’s all gone. With three rings in their pockets and 15 seasons under their belts, the no-longer-new Sox owners are pretty happy with their 93-win team, which is projected to finish first again in the American League East.

The Sox come into this season with no fat or tardy players, no manager on the hot seat, no angry fans, and no club controversy.

“We had a great meeting this morning and we’re all really happy to be back,’’ said Henry. “We didn’t finish our business last year. It was a disappointing way to end the season, so there is a lot to accomplish this year.’’

Asked to reflect on his 15-year ownership and whether he would have done anything differently, Henry (who also owns the Globe) motioned toward the media throng and joked, “We might not have started doing this every year.’’

In the 20-minute session with Werner — who is now front and center with Henry at this annual press conference, handling half the questions — Henry said he thinks Fenway Park has been “built to last’’ and should be good for another 30-50 years. He talked about developing some of the club-owned properties immediately around the ballpark.

He repeated that the Sox wanted to be under the luxury-tax threshold this season, but reminded us that “revenue sharing is the bigger issue.’’

He said pace of play is a “huge issue for our commissioner.’’ He said Dave Dombrowski has done a “tremendous job.’’

He was reluctant to revisit the controversial Drew Pomeranz deal, in which the Padres were punished for not disclosing Pomeranz’s full medical history and the Sox were given an opportunity to rescind the trade. (Boston declined.)

“A lot of the facts of that were a little bit different than are generally spoken about, but I really don’t want to open that back up again,’’ said Henry. “We’re really glad to have Drew here this year.’’

Asked about parting with blue-chip prospects to acquire Chris Sale, Henry spoke of the huge loss of David Ortiz, and said, “With David leaving, I think there was a feeling that we should do something. When this opportunity came about, it was tough to give up two of the best prospects in baseball, but I think we all agreed that this was a rare opportunity.’’

Henry disputed the notion that the baseball operations department has gotten away from number crunching.

“I think ever since I made that statement, it’s been overblown,’’ said the owner. “I only talk once a year, or maybe twice a year, but I think that was blown out of proportion. We still are heavily analytics-based. I think we always will be. I don’t think you can function in 2017 as a viable baseball organization without top-drawer analytics.’’

Werner was the one who addressed the team before the first full-squad workout.

After Werner, reflecting on 15 years, mentioned that “It’s not going to be forever,’’ there was a logical follow-up question about Henry and his group perhaps moving on from the Red Sox.

Henry extinguished that fire, saying, “Our partnership group, after 15 years together, there’s nothing about this we don’t enjoy — maybe a few things about this we don’t enjoy — but almost every day we talk about how fortunate we feel to be involved with this organization.

“It’s a tremendous organization that has accomplished tremendous things and it really is from our perspective a meaningful, wonderful experience to come here every year, to start over every year.

“While I said we consider it a success to be playing meaningful games in September and October, we really are focused on that fourth ring, as much as we were focused on the first. Anything short of that is a limited success.

“I know every few years we have to swat down rumors that we are perhaps sellers, but . . . we talk about how long we may do this, not when should we stop.’’

There. No bombast. No headlines. No fake news. No Sox-up-for-sale rumors.

Just Chris Sale. And baseball.
