Love the email / blog/ substack and the pod. I’m a Brit, never played the game but I love it and have been a Sox fan since the days of John Valentine and Dante Bichette - it’s like more athletic cricket. 😁. As an ill informed & uninitiated observer, the issue with all the potential trade ideas is that the likely cost would be prospects, & trading prospects to improve a team that doesn’t feel ready to compete with the very best teams in the Pos season seems antithetical to Chaim Bloom’s whole approach. Interested in your thoughts. Keep up the good work!!
Hey Damien! Thanks so much for kind words and the comment. I agree with you, the issue with any trades will be the cost. The Red Sox aren't in position to spend a lot because, when it comes to minor league talent, they don't have a lot. That said, they do have the talent base to pull off some smaller deals if they want to do so. I don't anticipate anything happening any time soon. I imagine Jarren Duran will get a shot. How he does will have a big impact on what the Red Sox do closer to the trade deadline, as will the team's health.
Thanks for reading and listening! Take care and be safe!
