I’m tired of talking about the Red Sox being bad, but the Red Sox are bad and haven’t improved. A surefire way for improvement, you might believe, would be trading for better players. The trade deadline is still a few weeks away, but often most of the action happens in the days leading up to July 31st. Teams with playoff aspirations usually look to bolster their rosters with trades. But with the playoff picture further and further out of reach for the Red Sox, you have to wonder: Will trades even make things better?
This may all be a hot take: The easy answer is yes, because why wouldn’t it?
