It’s no secret that the Red Sox need to work some magic this winter and beef up their pitching staff. Exactly how they’re going to go about that, I have no clue. The team wants to slash the payroll to get in the good graces of the CBT and the free-agent market is full of expensive hurlers. So where are they going to get some firepower while keeping the payroll low?
Looking in from the outside it feels like there have to be some trades this winter in order to get what the Red Sox need while not adding to the salary.
