In case you missed it, the Red Sox were part of the league’s first “real” trade of this deadline season, sending Brandon Workman and Heath Hembree to the bullpen-needy Phillies in exchange for a pair of right-handed pitchers in Nick Pivetta and Connor Seabold. As has become tradition here at OTM, rather than trying to focus on one or two parts of this we’re going to do the scattered thoughts format and try to quick-hit tackle every aspect of the move.
- The obvious place to start is simply with feelings on how the Red Sox did in this deal, which I would argue is.
