Coming right in before the owner’s lockout of the players became official and transactions were frozen around the league, the Boston Red Sox and Milwaukee Brewers surprised us all with a trade that came out of nowhere. In case you’ve somehow missed it, Boston sent Hunter Renfroe to the Brewers in exchange for Jackie Bradley Jr. and prospects Alex Binelas and David Hamilton. The specific trade certainly came out of nowhere, as we said, but the idea of trading an outfielder, and Renfroe specifically, was not exactly out of nowhere. It’s been a logical direction for this winter to take, and we mentioned the possibility a few times over the last month or so.
