The Boston Red Sox plan to buy ahead of the upcoming trade deadline, but the team has quite a few decisions to make in the short time until then.
Which needs the Red Sox will prioritize and which teams they'll trade with to accomplish their goals remains to be seen, but no matter what they do at the trade deadline, they will need to clear 40-man roster spots for the new acquisitions. Roster spots could open via trades, options or designations for assignment.
