The biggest takeaway from this week’s GM Meetings is that the Boston Red Sox are open to anything, according to Alex Speier of the Boston Globe.
Chaim Bloom’s most daunting task in his new role as Chief Baseball Officer is finding a way for the club with MLB’s highest payroll to dip below the luxury tax threshold. Boston’s payroll is cluttered with several expensive veterans and shedding one of those contracts would seem to be a priority.
According to Speier’s report, many rival executives have noted that the Red Sox have a clear willingness to discuss trades involving virtually anyone on their roster.
