The Sox are in need of backup, righty/lefty subs and pinch hitters now. Both Holt and Swihart have shown the ability to play at the major league level and might have had an impact in a game like last night with the bases loaded and 0 outs. I wouldn't let Moncada or Benintendi go either as they are likely to be brought up in August. I would give up Devers, Owens or Johnson (not both), and maybe 2 or 3 of our mid level prospects. If that isn't enough then we will need to go to the free agent list.

Cherrington loaded the Sox up with Castillo, Craig, Rameriz and Sandoval. Only Hanley is doing anything and certainly is not the power bat they expected. Lets not take any more players at high dollars who are questionable or past their prime. Pitching is expensive, both in minor league players and salaries and having large unproductive contracts on the books limits what can be done.
