Should The Red Sox Be Deadline Buyers Or Sellers? | | Boston Has Entered The Chat 

In normal Red Sox circumstances I’d agree, but the Boston fans need something. Either trade for a longer term solution like a starting pitcher, or go get a minor piece or 2 so you can gain like 3-4 more wins than you would have without.

The Sox have 58 minor league players eligible for Rule 5 in December. You cannot keep them all, and for sure many will be plucked away in the Rule 5 draft. The Sox should find homes for those they cannot protect now, and bring in some help for this year’s team and younger prospects for the future.

I thought the red sox should be buyers while they were on their little run. However, they have some weaknesses that just can't be filled in order to make them contenders. Being buyers now only means that they get eliminated in the first round of the playoffs. It is time to face the music and sell. Pivetta...gone! O'neil... gone! Kenly... gone! Pay Duran. He is Their guy to build around Casas is your guy to build around. Wong is your guy to build around. Rafaela is your guy to build around. Wilder is your guy to build around alon with Hamilton. Devers is your solid guy. He is no David Ortiz or Manny, but he gets the job done day in and day out. Trevor.. see what he does next year. If he is injury prone like Chris sale.. shuffle him to the back and the job becomes Hamiltons at short stop.. otherwise, Hamilton is your second baseman. The sox have a Ned for a sure fire closer that walks no one and is a real closer. The Red Sox bullpen is not their strength. Their starters are. Whitlock could be the bullpen stop the damage guy.. one or two batters, and you are out of the inning.the problem now is that the guys in the pen aren't as good as their starters. Hitters can't wait to get into Bostons pen! We are two seasons away from having consistent talent that can win at an affordable payroll. We are almost their.
