Boston Red Sox president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski has a reputation for making bold moves and has never been shy about pulling the trigger on a deal if he believes it can improve his team’s fortunes. Every franchise has certain players they couldn’t imagine parting with, yet no one is truly untouchable if the price is right.
Which players in the Red Sox organization hold the most trade value? Unlike the Most Valuable Player debate, which is based on the outcome of a particular season, trade value is measured by other factors that project future expectations. If you’re trading for a player based solely on what he’s done for his previous team rather than what he can do for you now then you’ve already lost the deal.
