When Boston Red Sox fans think about Michael Chavis, an image of him posing at the plate after smashing a pitch 450 feet to center field probably comes to mind. Either that or him swinging through another fastball up in the zone for the hundredth time.
There is little in-between when it comes to Chavis.
Now, when Red Sox fans think about the bullpen, well I’d say the picture that comes to mind is pretty consistent across the board. One of frustration, slouched shoulders, or even this.
With reports that the Red Sox are the ‘most invested’ in the pursuit of New York Mets reliever Edwin Diaz, per ESPN’s Buster Olney, I suggest they do not hesitate to send Chavis packing in a trade for him at this year’s July 31 trade deadline.
