They also might have enough arms to fill out a decent chunk of a bullpen. On the other hand, their offense is currently terrible, one of the worst we've ever seen, and they don't have much in terms of MLB-ready players. One catcher, maybe 1 or 2 infielders. If they dump $30 million into an extra starter, and they have nothing to trade, how do they ever stop having an awful offense? Well you're going to have to wait on something. You can trade Crochet if the market is good but there's no indication it will be when the Sox are viewed as cheap crack whores willing to accept any offer . There's also how teams are viewing their own position player prospects as gold like we saw during the TDL. There seems to be very hard-line stance against treating bottom feeders like the Sox with any respect. If he's 100% traded no matterw hat then you might as well also see if there's a market for Davis Martin or at least make sure he's at the top of the rotation and see if he can establish more value by the TDL or later since you're going to need more time on the hitting prospects we do have to figure out where the biggest need is. The Sox can't afford to just keep getting AA and AAA catching and pitching prospects and A ball prospects at all the other positions.
