The trade deadline has come and gone, and while the Red Sox didn’t trade any star or core pieces as sellers, they did trade a couple of position players in Mitch Moreland and Kevin Pillar who were playing mostly every day. Even if neither of those players were part of the organization’s long-term plans, their departures could start to slightly open the shades towards what could be long-term plans. Those moves opened up both roster spots and plate appearances to be gobbled up by either depth veterans or young players and prospects.
