Cross another potential trade target for the Boston Red Sox off the list.
The San Francisco Chronicle’s Susan Slusser reports that the Red Sox were among the several teams to reach out to the Oakland A’s about Khris Davis, only to be told that the 29-year old slugger is unavailable.
After Oakland traded away Ryon Healy to the Seattle Mariners in November to free up the designated hitter role for the defensively challenged Davis, the A’s are no longer interested in parting with their top power hitter.
Davis would have been an enticing option for the Red Sox to consider at DH if the rebuilding A’s had been open to moving him.
