The Red Sox traded their best power hitter, Rafael Devers, last month. The front office emphasized increased financial flexibility as a key benefit of the trade. Devers has more than $250 million left on his contract, which won’t expire until 2033.
So, with the trade deadline less than a month away and the team sitting in fourth place in the American League East, how should the Red Sox approach the trade deadline? Should they be buyers, or sellers?
Red Sox pitcher Garrett Crochet, who the Red Sox traded for during the offseason, said he’d like to see ownership add to the roster.
