Red Sox Fail to Make a Big Trade

The trade deadline just passed a few minutes ago and the Red Sox failed to make a big trade.  Management has noticed the lack of offense at the Right Field position, and our pitchers have been plagued with injuries.  Hunter Pence would have been perfect in Right, and they would have commanded his contract for a couple of years past this season and Harden could have possibly helped the injury riddled rotation.  With all of that said, I am still very happy with the lineup and our chances to go deep into the playoffs.

Red Sox Need Help in Right Field

The Red Sox have needed some help with Right Field ever since they signed J.D. Drew.  He is one of the highest paid players on the Red Sox roster, and his production has not been nearly what the Sox expected.  This year, the Red Sox have the worst offensive statistics in baseball for right field players, and unless they make a change they will continue to struggle at that position.  Management has publicly stated that they need help and need to make a change at right field, which is something they should have said years ago.
