If I Were the GM of the Boston Red Sox I would make a couple of deals
The Boston Red Sox minor league system is all torn up right now. With that in mind I would look to make a couple of small deals with the Pirates and A’s. I would trade infielder Jed Lowrie and catcher Mark Wagner (#25 prospect coming into this year) to the Pirates for catcher Ryan Doumit and righty reliever D.J. Carrasco. Doumit would fill a huge hole for the Red Sox until Victor Martinez comes back and Carrasco works a lot of innings saving a bullpen. Then I would flip outfielder Che-Hsuan Lin (#20 prospect heading into this year) to the A’s for lefty reliever Craig Breslow. The Red Sox could really use another lefty reliever and Breslow is one of the better ones on the market. Doumit, Breslow and Carrasco might not be sexy names on the trade market but they also don’t cost top dollar prospect wise and adding them would make the Red Sox a lot better going forward.
