Another great piece. Since you’re inviting suggestions for topics, I’d love to get your thoughts on Boston’s trade deadline strategy. It appears that the Red Sox will be “buyers” in the traditional sense, but at what expense? Which prospects do you see as trade bait? Do you think guys who are currently taking up a spot on the 40-man roster (like Jay Groome) might be more likely to get traded? Would younger major league players currently serving as “depth” such as Chavis and Houck be on the table? Are Boston’s top prospects (Casas, Duran, maybe Downs) off limits, or could they be moved?
Thanks for the kind words, Julian, and thanks for reading! That's a complex question! I'll take a look at that. Maybe it's best answered on a podcast? I'm not sure, but I'll get to it!
