After a largely lackluster showing in the free agent market the last few months, the Boston Red Sox offseason is likely going to revolve around the trade market for the rest of the winter, and that’s not just according to me. Chaim Bloom himself has indicated as such and while getting a long-term deal for Rafael Devers should be a priority as well (if not the priority), the Red Sox are still looking for that needle-moving transaction or two.
Bloom deserves credit for upgrading the bullpen, albeit incrementally, but for this team to really jump back into contention and not just add a few wins to a last-place team, some higher impact moves are necessary.
