The dust around the Major League Baseball trade deadline settled, and though many believed the Boston Red Sox would be buyers on August 1, there was very little movement in or out of the clubhouse.
The Red Sox traded for infielder Luis Urias, formerly of the Milwaukee Brewers, on Tuesday. They also traded away Kiké Hernandez for a pair of minor league relievers, Nick Robertson and Justin Hagenman, a week prior.
Boston’s general manager Brian O’Halloran appeared on WEEI’s The Greg Hill Show Thursday and explained the Red Sox’s trade deadline mentality.
