BOSTON -- Backed by a trifecta of trades over the last month, capped by the acquisition of Ian Kinsler late Monday night, the Red Sox think their deep and dynamic roster is well-positioned to play deep into October.
And with an MLB-best record of 75-34 record leading into the opener of a four-game showdown against the Yankees on Thursday, who can blame them?
The one move that was speculated for weeks but never occurred was the acquisition of a reliever to help supplement the setup crew in front of closer Craig Kimbrel.
