Red Sox fans rejoice!!! Looks like they just might be open for business this offseason with Bloom finally gone. Depends on who they hire but I bet they’ll be more players available to trade, no more of the if – it’s a Bloom player he’s unavailable -. I personally see the biggest need as a RH Power bat to play LF and a SS (for a year or two). This trade starts the ball rolling by acquiring the RH Power bat of Steer and the Red Sox making him their LF. The Reds get the 27yr old SP Houck under control for 4 more years – AND – a PTBNL, SP Luis De La Rosa or SP Issac Coffey, their choice.
C – Wong
1B – Casas
2B – Story
3B – Devers
SS – (I’d be on the hunt for a free agent SS for 2 years with a team option for a 3rd year, or to trade for one under a similar contract)
LF –
CF – Duran
RF – Verdugo (if it was up to me I’d give him an extension, 4yrs $68m)
DH – Yoshida
