At first blush it would seem a bit strange for the Boston Red Sox to trade Hunter Renfroe after the outfielder served such a key role on the team’s run to the ALCS. But after the move, the team now has a whole lot of flexibility to replace him and perhaps find an upgrade. (Jason Mastrodonato; Boston Herald)
Speaking of that Renfroe trade, Boston not only got Jackie Bradley Jr. from the Milwaukee Brewers, but also a pair of prospects in Alex Binelas and David Hamilton. Ian Cundall provides some preliminary scouting reports on the pair.
