Boston Red Sox must trade Clay Buchholz to clear rotation logjam

You know how they say that you can never have too much pitching? Well, the Boston Red Sox may actually have too much pitching.

The addition of Chris Sale to an already crowded rotation leaves the Red Sox with seven viable starting pitchers heading into next season. Sale is obviously locked into one spot, alongside co-aces Rick Porcello and David Price, which leaves four pitchers to fight over the two remaining rotation spots.

One of those spots should go to Steven Wright, who earned that opportunity with an All-Star campaign before a shoulder injury shut him down for the rest of the season.
