From @jcmccaffrey and @chadjennings22 on the Red Sox search for 2B help:
“According to two people with knowledge of the situation, the Red Sox have considered Whit Merrifield and touched base with his representatives, but talks have been largely preliminary with no current traction toward a deal, though that could change as the market begins to move and the Red Sox settle on a more definitive direction.”
Breslow pointed to the Red Sox looking more at the trade market for help at the winter meetings.
Merrifield is vaguely interesting, but he isn't the great glove 2B they have been talking about acquiring.
