As of this moment, we are a little over two-thirds of the way through the season. The trade deadline passed yesterday, and in case you were hiding beneath a rock, the Red Sox did nothing. That is right. Nothing.
They didn’t trade for Shane Greene or Noah Syndergaard or Edwin Diaz, or Scooter Gennett, or Sam Dyson, or Mark Melancon, or anyone else. The Red Sox held all the cards, raised their eyebrows, and folded at the last second, just when most everyone thought they might push a chip or two in.
