Maybe the Sox need to inquire about Paul DeJong.
Trades in April/May are rare. But DeJong is returning from an IL stint back into a crowded Cardinals’ middle infield picture. As he is owed $11.2 mill this year (counting buyout), and is really just taking up a 40 man roster spot, I have zero doubt the Cardinals turn down any offer at any point in time ever.
DeJong hits right/handed, albeit poorly. He does have some power. But he also has an excellent glove at shortstop. He very won’t hit like Duvall was hitting, but him at SS and Kike back in CF is a much, much better defensive alignment…
