If the Dodgers can't fix him, nobody can. 

So, Hicks for the fixed up Brasier?

Sox can just sign Brasier today. Don't believe they want to.

What about Hicks for Teoscar Hernandez?  Thats one that could work for both sides.

Intriguing.

It does further clutter the Sox OF/DH logjam, but there is time to work that out.  And sometimes injuries do that for you.

Hicks did bump his fastball up to 97.5 mph last year.  Poor season aside, there is still something there to intrigue a team, and if the Dodgers may not be thrilled with Teoscar’s middle infielder-esque .738 OPS.

 

Another one that looks fringey but acceptable on paper (to me, anyway)  is Triston Casas for Mark Vientos…

I would make the move, but you'd like to make that move last.  Move Duran first, and the Teo becomes a pretty good platoon partner for Abreu and Yoshida.
