We may swap a lefty bat for a righty one, but so seriously doubt we trade even a top 9-20 prospect for offense.
We need SP help way, way, WAY more than anything else. Our best pitchers are already nearing or passing their career high IP totals, and we are not even half way through July!
IMO, we won’t trade a top 8 prospect and may not trade a 9-20, either.
When you say it's gonna happen now
When exactly do you mean?
1-7 ain’t getting traded. 1-5 I don’t see and Perales/Cespedes are hurt.
But 8-20 and beyond, they can have a field day and go shopping at the pitcher store and the hitter store.
Unless we want to start talking about Crochet
The Sox need another late inning reliever. Smith is on the IL and Weissert is looking cooked.
Championships since purchase by John Henry group: Red Sox 4 Yankees 1
The Red Sox are 8-1 in their last 9 postseason games against the Yankees.
I'm not sure if trading for Dejong makes sense. The Red Sox might be better off going with Rafaela at SS this year (moves to CF next year) and use trade assets on other players, such as a SP and a right handed bat (a better RHB than Dejong).
