Free agency is underway and teams are assessing their needs ahead of the Winter Meetings next month. The Red Sox aren’t immune and have several needs of their own that Chaim Bloom will be tasked with fulfilling. Boston has half of their infield vacant thanks to players heading off to free agency and there aren’t any set replacements on the roster.
It’s not that the Red Sox don’t have options, it’s actually the opposite. They have some very talented guys like Michael Chavis, Marco Hernandez, Sam Travis, and Bobby Dalbec that can all step into either of the first or second base vacancies.
