I am confused why people are looking to make trades. There are quality free agents out there at positions of need for the Sox and they should have plenty of money to spend. I realize not all the FA options are perfect but it doesn’t make much sense to trade any talent away when the Sox can simply spend money to fill their holes. Keep in mind, they haven’t spent much the past three years and Hahn said the money will be spent. No excuses.
At this point, Keuchel might be the best option since he at least keeps the ball on the ground. His agent is Boras so that will be interesting, just like with Castellanos. But if the Sox just add two tier C starters, they damn well better spend their money signing Castellanos or Ozuna and adding significant bullpen help.
