The Boston Red Sox have prepared their shopping list as we approach the MLB trade deadline and chief among their needs is a big bat to fill the void at third base.
Boston has been rumored to be looking at essentially any third baseman who could conceivably be available on the trade market.

Yet now that Todd Frazier is in New York and Martin Prado is on the disabled list, the options are dwindling as time runs out.
