Red Sox Yoan Moncada Spells Doom For Sandoval?

The Red Sox depth chart at third base stands thus: Travis Shaw, Aaron Hill, and Brock Holt. A 26-year-old lefty bat hitting .248; a 34-year-old righty bat, who will be a free agent next season, hitting .265; and a utility player, albeit a 2015 All-Star, who hits on the left side at .255. Not exactly what the Red Sox had in mind to fix the problem at third base, two years ago.

Shaw’s .936 fielding percentage doesn’t help matters, making him 17th out of 20 qualifying third basemen in the majors.
