Red Sox should stay clear of Matt Harvey-for-Blake Swihart deal

The Boston Red Sox have had a knack for fixing reclamation projects over the last few years with Andrew Miller and Doug Fister being shining examples.

The team has the option to take on another one as the Mets designated Matt Harvey for assignment on Saturday and are currently trying to trade him before he becomes a free agent and they lose him for nothing.

The Boston Globe’s Nick Cafardo suggests that it might be a good idea if the Red Sox offer up Blake Swihart to acquire Harvey, even if the chances of it actually happening are remote.
